Concentration Quotes from:
-
Becomes Quotes
Without touching my subject I want to come to the moment when, through pure concentration of seeing, the composed picture becomes more made than taken. Without a descriptive caption to justify its existence, it will speak for itself - less descriptive, more creative; less informative, more suggestive - less prose, more poetry.

Building Quotes
My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'

Easy Quotes
From a spectator point of view, Test cricket is not important; people hardly watch Test cricket. But as a player, Tests are the real thing. You have to concentrate for five days. It's a lot of time, and not easy to do it day in and day out. If people have played 70-100 Tests, it's a lot of cricket, a lot of concentration and dedication.

Against Quotes
We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I'm delighted he's taken it on board. I can't consider sending him out on loan again. I've got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that.

Bit Quotes
What this group has managed to do is not let anything get in the way of their goals in qualifying and winning games. We miss a player due to an injury or a suspension, they don't blink an eye, they just move forward. If they're in games where the officiating may be a little bit questionable, it doesn't bother them. They just keep their concentration and get after the task at hand.
-
Accept Quotes
We accept and welcome... as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race.
-
Books Quotes
We have a responsibility to show respect for the game, for the opponents, the officials and ourselves by approaching all the games in the same manner. As so many coaching books talk about, you can't just turn on and off the concentration switch. You're either always focused and always ready to play at a high level or you're not.

Few Quotes
Leon did a fine job of running the football. Toward the end of the game, he didn't do a few things we wanted him to do. He lost his concentration a little bit. But we're pretty pleased with the way he handled the game. He ran well and took some big hits. He's going to do nothing but get better.
-
Approach Quotes
Shooting yourself in the foot. That's what you call that. We talked a couple of days ago about staying crisp and not making simple mistakes, but that's what we did today. We can't have a lapse of concentration like that. But you have to keep the hammer down. You can't take the approach of: 'we've got a faster boat so we won't push it too hard,' because that's when it comes back and bites you.
-
Animals Quotes
One of the things we least understand is why animals evolved so late in Earth history. Why did animals wait until the 11th hour, whereas evidence for more primitive life dates back billions of years? One of the best bets to explain the difference is an increase in oxygen concentration in the atmosphere.

Action Quotes
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
-
Attitude Quotes
Obviously, we feel better going into the postseason. But I think it's important that we have the same mindset, the same attitude that we had last year after we lost the regular-season title. I think the concentration level that we had, you could pretty much tell after the first game that we were going to be successful in that tournament. It had that feeling to it. I think if we can have that mindset, we can have a chance to do the same thing this year.

Adds Quotes
Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty -- shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power.

Advantage Quotes
Pepe has an advantage because the team in front of him in defense are working so hard to restrict the chances we concede. The back four have been outstanding. They are organized and have better concentration than last season. But he is also an intelligent boy and he thinks hard about what he has to do in England.

Belong Quotes
I have an occasionally recurring stutter, but not when in character on stage in a play. Odd. James Earl Jones has the same pattern; he stutters in everyday life but not when acting. Preparation requires an actor's concentration to make the words belong to another person, which is its own sort of trance.
