My grandmother always told me how you start is how you finish.
I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean?
I practice the artist's golden rule. I wouldn't want somebody telling me how to finish my painting, I'm not going to tell him how to finish his movie or how to shape his movie.
Christianity is not a sprint but an endurance run. Therefore it is not how we start the race that counts, but how we complete it. How we finish is determined by the choices we make, and those are often formed by patterns we develop along the way.
You have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish.
What makes a champion is not how elegantly you start, but how strongly you finish...!!
It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.
The British - who rarely start a fight, but always know how to finish it - have nothing to be ashamed of.
It’s not how you start that’s important, but how well you finish!
If I hadn't been told I was garbage, I wouldn't have learned how to show people I'm talented. And if everyone had always laughed at my jokes, I wouldn't have figured out how to be so funny. If they hadn't told me I was ugly, I never would have searched for my beauty. And if they hadn't tried to break me down, I wouldn't know that I'm unbreakable.
I still don't know how to jump-start a car, even though it's been told to me a million times. But I do love thinking about how creativity works.
It ain't how you start out, it's how you finish.
I always wanted to, at some point, sit down and consider how to plot out one piece of work, one album, from start to finish.
I don't focus on how I'm gonna get the finish or how I would like to get the finish. I focus on just my game plan that I've gone over with myself, my coaches. If the finish comes it comes.
It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.
I'm a believer, but an unsettled one. I think it has something to do with the fact that my grandmother always told me she would come back and tickle my feet at night time when she passed away. She hasn't gotten me yet. But I keep the blanket over my feet at night, no matter how hot it is.
How you start is important, but it is how you finish that counts. In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. The sticker outlasts the sprinter.
