I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

I've been very focused on my career outside of tennis.

You have to focus on what you're passionate about. For me it's the forests and of course, because I'm concerned about the forests, I'm concerned about the way paper is made.

I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.

"The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone."

"Life will not bear refinement. You must do as other people do."

"Many things difficult in design prove easy in performance."

"Nature makes us poor only when we want necessaries, but custom gives the name of poverty to the want of superfluities."

"What, then, is the effect of pesticides? Pesticides have created a legacy of pain, and misery, and death for farm workers and consumers alike. The crop which poses the greatest danger, and the focus of our struggle, is the table grape crop. These pesticides soak the fields. Drift with the wind, pollute the water, and are eaten by unwitting consumers. These poisons are designed to kill, and pose a very real threat to consumers and farm workers alike."

"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."

"So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball."

"Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy."

"Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods."

"Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer."

"I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply."

"By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race; now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface."

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.
