“I know you're supposed to set goals for yourself. I see all that motivational stuff on television. "Think about the future, what's next!" But I'm all into the journey. It's fascinating to me. So if I make certain what I want moment to moment, I'm cool at the crossroads.”

“He (Donovan) had it in the back of his mind for years now. He kept at it, kept us motivated for the last few years. A few years ago, we never thought we'd have relays and individuals placing in the top 16. He's definitely a part of how we came this far.”

“I've talked to some guys who've won championships, and the one thing coming into the next season is they seem to fall into a complacency. The additions of myself and Nick_and we've never won_we're going to keep on those guys. This team has never repeated, so they have that motivation. Hopefully it's all enough.”

“It was a good way to kick off our spring break with a win over Idaho today. The guys played well and were motivated to do well. We have had a couple of weeks to work on our games and now the season really kicks into gear with a heavy schedule of matches coming up.”

“Cyber-crooks, motivated by profit, have adapted well to the new environment -- they are now looking to silent infections that allow them to operate without much noise being made in the media.

You cannot do anything unless you allow your passion to motivate you. People may tell you, "you can do it", "you can make it" "it's possible" but when you tell yourself always " I can't make it", it's your choice that rules everything!

...[M]oral instruction, although containing much that is convincing for the reason, ...accomplishes... little... [because] the teachers themselves have not got their own notions clear, and when they endeavor to make up for this by raking up motives of moral goodness from every quarter, trying to make their physic right strong, they spoil it.

Love is one of the most motivating and self-defining forces in our lives, whether we turn from it or allow ourselves to be drawn to it. If you allow romantic possibilities with others to consume all your time and energy, they will distract you from the things of interest that fill your life with passion and purpose.

“Our fans are great, but it's even better when you have the alumni here. So we obviously have extra motivation because we have a lot of family and friends coming back into town for this weekend, and anytime they're here you go out and give it your all.”
