Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

William Arthur Ward

Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.

Ernest Hemingway

Most people, who have quit smoking, have had at least one unsuccessful try in the past. It is not important how many times you try to quit. The only important thing is, that eventually you stay quit

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Frank Peretti

If you've never quit anything, you really ought to try. And if at first you don't succeed, try again.

Steve Rushin

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

If it does not work the first time, try, try again. Then quit. No need to be an idiot.

W. C. Fields

Wanting to quit is a sign of success because it means you have something to quit; but don't quit.

Matthew Barnett

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

W. C. Fields

After I quit being a lawyer in '95, I was having a lot of trouble writing. Then I read somewhere that Willa Cather read a chapter of the Bible every day before she started work. I thought, 'Okay, I'll try it.' Before each writing session, I started to read the Bible like a writer, thinking about language, character, and themes.

Min Jin Lee

I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York, and I went to Wall Street in December of 2007 - before the big crash that we had - I basically said, 'Cut it out! Quit foreclosing on homes! Quit engaging in these kinds of speculative behaviors.'

Hillary Clinton
