Gave Up Quotes

... you are defined by how you live your life, not whom you live it with, and certainly not by what you gave up to be with that person Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned that if you wait long enough, you might get a second chance at something you gave up on. And sometimes you’ll be the one to give the second chance to someone else Picture Quote #1

In this poor body, composed of one hundred bones and nine openings, is something called spirit, a flimsy curtain swept this way and that by the slightest breeze. It is spirit, such as it is, which led me to poetry, at first little more than a pastime, then the full business of my life. There have been times when my spirit, so dejected, almost gave up the quest, other times when it was proud, triumphant. So it has been from the very start, never finding peace with itself, always doubting the worth of what it makes Picture Quote #1

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn’t give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you Picture Quote #1

I think competing is more important than winning. There have been a lot of times when I’ve teed it up and I didn’t win but I felt like I competed. I felt like this was not my day, but I never gave up, and I tried on every shot, and then next week I’d go get them Picture Quote #1

I never gave up, even when people told me I’d never make it; Never underestimate the heart of a champion Picture Quote #1

The fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it’s like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It’s like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we’d all be crawling around Picture Quote #1

When I analyse a position, I have a sparring partner who understands chess amazingly well. In a way I feel sorry for him, because of his work with me he cannot play as much chess as he wants. He more or less gave up his playing career Picture Quote #1

I have two children. I gave up a lot for my career, but I’m very happy for it. I’ve done what I’ve always thought was best for me and my family Picture Quote #1

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse Picture Quote #1

Once I gave up the hunt for villains, I had little recourse but to take responsibility for my choices... Needless to say, this is far less satisfying that nailing villains. It also turned out to be more healing in the end Picture Quote #1

First of all, I swore it was two people playing. When I finally admitted to myself that was one man, I gave up the piano for a month. I figured it was hopeless to practice Picture Quote #1

It was always the same; other people gave up loving before she did. They got spoilt, or else they went away; in any case, they were partly to blame. Why did it happen so? She herself never changed; when she loved anyone, it was for life. She could not understand desertion; it was something so huge, so monstrous that the notion of it made her little heart break Picture Quote #1

I lost my mother and my brother when I was 15 in two separate car accidents. I was doing well at school. I was a good sportsperson, but at that point, I gave up on all of those things that were there to be done. I couldn’t deal with them Picture Quote #1

I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn’t great if you’re prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium Picture Quote #1

I gave up drinking lots of whiskey and began to practice yoga and meditation. As a result I am not dead Picture Quote #1

I can’t avoid writing. It’s a sort of nervous tic I have developed since I gave up needlepoint Picture Quote #1

A loss, but who still mourns the breath of one woman, or laments one wife? Though my heart never can forget, how, for one look, she gave up her life Picture Quote #1
