I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.

Our shortcomings drive us, motivate us – to work harder or realize another purpose/talent.

I'll always use the negativity as more motivation to work even harder and become even stronger.

Expectations. Strong belief something will happen in the future.Pressure. A motivator. A positive. An indicator you are in the right place.

Not only the right thing is the right thing, but doing the right out of the right motives is the right thing.

“We feel we're the heartbeat of the team. When we make a big play, the offense and defense can feed off of that. It's really a great motivator to be No. 1 two years in a row. It's hard to be No. 1 once. We're definitely motivated by the challenge of this weekend.”

“Politicians need religion even more than a hermit in retreat. If a hermit acts out of bad motivation, he harms no one but himself. But if someone who can directly influence the whole of society acts with bad motivation, then a great number of people will be adversely affected.”

“Patients that enroll in smoking cessation programs on their own are highly motivated to quit, but represent a very small portion of the smoking population. Using an existing health channel to reach smokers who vary in their motivation level to quit could have a significant public health impact.”

“That moment was very important because it was political. That's what has to be done, so they struck a deal. She figures his is a well-thought-out motivation that she felt was worthy trade-off. The motivation here is survival, and she has to think like a leader.”
