Drive Quotes
The push behind ambition, fear, and hard choices.
These drive quotes range from a stark wartime comparison of national resources devoted to weapons programs, to a personal drive built from insecurity rather than confidence, and a more forceful use of the word tied to conflict abroad. One quote closes with a simple call to drive out fear with anger. See Determination for the more motivational side of this theme.
