(Back to all quotes.)

Here is a list of negative quotes. Make no mistake, these quotations have positive meaning, but are often taken out of context. They are commonly misused and misunderstood by failures looking for excuses to explain their lack of success. A positive thought should instill the desire to work harder and succeed, not give satisfaction of the effort that lead to disappointment and loss; The latter is merely an excuse. It is my intention that you find some meaning in these quotes, and compare and contrast them with our list of positive and inspirational quotes. While reading them, ask yourself, "Is this quotation inspiring me to accomplish anything?"

About the Author:  I am Matthew Doucette of Xona Games, a team-of-two indie game development studio working on Xbox 360 games .  I am currently working on Duality ZF, a groundbreaking arcade-style shoot'em up*.  It features 4x local multiplayer, dual play (control two fighters at once), six game modes (home, survival, arcade, score rush, bullet hell, boss rush) including full 8-stage campaign modes and single-stage challenge modes, four control modes (solo play, dual play, multidirectional, g-mode) so you can play the entire game as a dual-stick multidirectional shooter if you wish, individual and team scores, 96 game styles, 96 online scoreboards, a beautiful electronic Imphenzia soundtrack, and a massively upgradable 32-stage duality spread/laser weapon system.  4x dual play allows up to eight fighters at once.  Many of these features are never before seen shoot'em up firsts.  Check out our Duality ZF trailer and help spread the word with our official dualityzf.com website.  Coming soon to Xbox LIVE Indie Games.
