Popular quotes about Drive! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 48
Passion and drive are not the same at all. Passion pulls you toward something you cannot resist. Drive pushes you toward something you feel compelled or obligated to do. If you know nothing about yourself, you can't tell the difference. Once you gain a modicum of self-knowledge, you can express your passion.....It's not about jumping through someone else's hoops. That's drive.

Becky FreemanNobody's going to do your life for you.

It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.

Tony HsiehDialogue is a space where we may see the assumptions which lay beneath the surface of our thoughts, assumptions which drive us, assumptions around which we build organizations, create economies, form nations and religions.

David BohmIf you ask a Saudi Imam why women in Saudi Arabia can't drive, he'll say, 'Because Islam demands it.'

But if you wake up Monday morning and take 'em again you're a drug addict. But, they should be legal.

Dane CookI didn't understand at the time why Vince was so interested in teaching me life lessons when all I was trying to do was get my video played.

Therefore, he was trying to teach me how to better myself instead of repeatedly getting into trouble by rubbing people the wrong way.
