Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."

Eric Sevareid

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.

Louis Pasteur

Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Thomas Henry Huxley

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.

Amelia Earhart

We didn't have any energy. We didn't have any passion. We didn't have any tenacity. That's what you have to have to win these games, especially when you're on the road.

Gary Holquist

Helen is a symbol of the tenacity of our people.

Lisa Mendler

I am pleased with how they fought back from a very stressful and distressing day number one. I am really pleased with the courage, tenacity and toughness we had mentally to battle our way back from zero points a third of the way through the meet and still finish 18th.

Mark Bernardino

Matt Boldt adds depth to our 'D,' while Matt Krug will have to prove his ability for playing time. Krug has a good upside with his offensive skills and tenacity. He has a knack for big-time open-ice hits.

Bill Wilkinson

If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.

Mary Mcleod Bethune

Normally you don't get big dudes with natural tenacity. He's just a big, physical kid who loves contact. He was such a force.

Alonzo Carter

From its inception, the Tomcat has been the icon of Naval Aviation with its striking appearance, speed, formidable lethality and versatility. It is more capable today than at any other time during its existence because of the innovation, dedication, and tenacity of every maintainer and pilot who has ever been associated with it.

Cmdr. Richard Labranche

In my 22 years of coaching, that's one of the best games I've had the privilege of being a part of. Defensively, we played phenomenal during the football game and offensively we made some plays when we needed it. Our young guys showed effort, tenacity and a lot of want-to.

David Payne

Dr Edwards has been the catalyst for key conservation milestones in WA. If not for Dr Edwards's tenacity, the nature of WA would be worse off and our state a poorer place to live.

David Mackenzie

I want her [Thorn] to play defense all 90 feet and she's quick enough to do it and that's the type of game she plays. What she lacks in size, she makes up with her tenacity and her quickness and she uses it to her advantage defensively and offensively.

Donna Nicholson

It is a challenge, but a very winnable game. If we can come out and play with the tenacity and shooting the ball the way we have then I feel good about our chances.

Mike Greene

To succeed in life in today's world, you must have the will and tenacity to finish the job.

Chin ning Chu

Portrait of a losing side, proof positive that you can't outpunch machinery. Proof also of something else: that no matter what the future brings, man's capacity to rise to the occasion will remain unaltered. His potential for tenacity and optimism continues, as always, to outfight and outlive any and all changes made by his society.

Rod Serling

The tenacity and desire to win which he has worked with since he was a child have carried him to the top in a sporting discipline of enormous difficulty.

Fernando Alonso

The difference in the game was our tenacity on the boards. Amber Gottfried did a superb job.

Teri Rosinski

They were a bigger, faster, stronger, team than we were. We bent, but we never broke and gave a lot up .I think it was an intense fast paced game. Their kids were a lot bigger, which made for an incredible game. Our guys never backed down, playing with a lot of tenacity.

Jim Segar

The King sisters must be thanked for their desire to protect this land. Without their tenacity and the support from their families, this deal would never have come together.

Nancy Greene

I was real proud of our guys and their tenacity and staying together after we were down 12.

Steve Shields

If I can give you one step where you move forward, then you'll take the next one and the next one. It's attitude and tenacity and risk-taking and resilience. If you can home in on those traits with people, you can give them hope and guidance. Can you change their lives? Occasionally. Is an hour short? You bet.

Marjorie Brody

Jujitsu is blood, sweat and tears. It takes hard work, perseverance and tenacity to be successful.

Jose Ortiz

I can see his tenacity and his yearning to go back this year.

Kelly Mulcahy

Success is often not a matter of talent, but a matter of tenacity.

Nathaniel Bronner Jr.

TENACITY, n. A certain quality of the human hand in its relation to the coin of the realm. It attains its highest development in the hand of authority and is considered a serviceable equipment for a career in politics. The following illustrative lines were written of a Californian gentleman in high political preferment, who has passed to his accounting: Of such tenacity his grip Tha.

Ambrose Bierce

There was no quit in Justin. The tenacity could well be interpreted as stubbornness. He was doing what he wanted and you know, hat's off to him because it seems he was succeeding in it.

Steve Schwartz

Duncan has good speed, skills and quickness and plays with tenacity and intelligence.

Dick Nyman

With my intensity and athletic ability, I think that would be a natural switch, ... I'm just as fast as almost all those [defensive ends] out there, and as athletic, or more, than half of them. And my tenacity supersedes all of that. There are a lot of guys at that position who have gotten paid that are a bunch of slaps, and I know  I could do better than them.

Kyle Turley

The second half I think we came out well and we played well. We got that goal and a couple of other opportunities to score but didn't put it away, but overall I thought the effort was good. We came back and showed some heart and tenacity.

Tyrone Marshall

This victory was a tribute to the heart of our team and our tenacity. We learned from some of the mistakes we made yesterday (at UCLA), won some close races and were a little more focused and tough.

Lea Maurer

I think we're ready to go. We're not where I want us to be just yet, but I like our work ethic and I like our tenacity and grit. The kids will have their adrenaline pumping (tonight).

Doug Johnson

Kristin has a toughness and tenacity to her game, which makes her an option for us in the center of the field in either the midfield or the backline. Her calmness on the ball will serve her well in either position. If she is able to step in and show the same toughness for us, she will have an opportunity to see significant minutes.

Chris Kouns

We struggled, and I thought Kentucky's tenacity on defense had a lot to do with it. They were swarming and really played physical. I thought their defense impacted us in a big way.

Dennis Felton

He will go, but he'll go screaming. He can perhaps hold a little longer. He is clinging with such tenacity it's staggering.

James Walston

She's a sharp young lady who's going to do great things. What stands out is her determination and her tenacity. When you tell her of all the obstacles that block her meeting a challenge, that just spurs her on.

Susan Pearson

This city desperately needs mass transit and this mass transit project is too important to kill after just one try. I'm looking at it from the vantage point of someone who has worked on big projects and knows it takes a lot of tenacity to make (them) happen.

Paige Miller

Men never cling to their dreams with such tenacity as at the moment when they are losing faith in them, and know it, but do not dare yet to confess it to themselves.

William Graham Sumner

The ills of discrimination are still with us. We have to continue the tenacity and vigilance of the 1960s. Racial understanding is not something we find; it's something we create.

Thomas Cole

[But he earned particular attention in Hollywood for his tenacity in making the grand-scale] A Passage to India, ... the most difficult thing of my life.

David Lean

Unlike any other form of writing, the stories of episodic television require the blended imagination, talent, and tenacity of a staff of writers.

Daniel Petrie

That's the hardest they've ever played us. I was impressed with their tenacity.

Kris Britton

Tenacity. In hockey, we use a lot of goofy little terms about player to describe a player. Intangibles, work ethic, intelligence. It's a great mix. He's a very smart hockey player.

Kevin Dineen

I am very proud of how hard our kids played and how physical they played. Especially in the second half against some adversity. The tenacity they showed was outstanding. We showed we are a quality team and now we have to prove it next week. We need to come out focused and play well.

Jim Webb

Bulldogs have been known to fall on their swords when confronted by my superior tenacity.

Margaret Halsey

It shows the fitness and tenacity of our team.

Mark Riley

Sometimes, however, the Gaelic blood asserts itself. The Frenchmen will then attack. But the French attacking spirit is like bottled lemonade. It lacks tenacity. The Englishmen, on the other hand, one notices that they are of Germanic blood. Sportsmen easily take to flying, and Englishmen see in flying nothing but a sport.

Manfred Von Richthofen

Tenacity. We're great guys in the clubhouse, but when the game starts we turn into a bunch of angry individuals.

Geoff Blum

They're working really hard, and I think there are obviously some young guys that are going to be playing. I don't know how many, but I'm excited about the tenacity with which they play.

Brian Griese

We don't have the same energy and tenacity we had last year. We've got to find it.

Torrell Martin

One need only go there to completely appreciate the fight she fought and the tenacity she displayed, ... I walked away so inspired to go back home and fight the good fight.

Christine Lahti

Tenacity and patience pays off.

Pat Mulroy

Hayward Howard plays at only one speed -100 miles an hour. He is very fast and outstanding between the lines. Hayward creates havoc with his tenacity. Brian Burke has improved his strength. He's one of the top stick handlers on the defensive end with a tremendous ability to clear the ball.

John Haus

I'll give them a lot of credit, they did have tenacity, but our big problem, we were uptight all night long. We were way off our game, but we came up with some big plays. That short-handed goal was big for us, but we'll definitely have to come and be better (tonight).

Mike Provenzano

From everything I know about (Perot), his integrity is impeccable. His sense of duty and service to his country is admirable, and his tenacity and wherewithal to accomplish the things he's accomplished is inspiring.

Harold Doty

You don't judge a team by its record, but its heart and tenacity, two things you either have or you don't have.

Reggie Sanders

Robin considers that crows are a fiery mixture of intelligence, tenacity and spirit poured into a frail body.

Ed Laudano
