You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner.
Venus Williams
Image
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.
Venus Williams
Image
I should hope so, Laigle replied, for my coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and 1 only feel its presence because it keeps me warm.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are some people who imagine that they can disarm their enemy by complacent flattery. They are wrong. The world has always belonged to the stronger and will belong to them for many years to come. Men only respect those who make themselves respected. Whoever becomes a lamb will find a wolf to eat him.
Vilfredo Pareto
Image
...and when I am negative, I will be negative only for as long as I have to be, until I can understand it, and then I will be positive...when I hate, I will turn my hatred into energy, when I am angry I will turn my anger into energy...and I will not be complacent.
Amy Ray

I am happy I have competition. It keeps me on my toes all the while and stops me from becoming complacent. So, it works to my advantage.
Ameesha Patel
Image
I didn't want to settle or become complacent after winning a major, I wanted to stay hungry. It's easy to do. It's easy to win a big tournament and kind of get a little lazy, so it's been a good motivator for me to work a little harder.
Webb Simpson
Image
My father grew up in an era when to be an American - a white American, at least - was to be yourself. In some respects, his generation was more ignorant, complacent, self-centered and parochial than mine.
William T. Vollmann
Image
My mother has all my awards, because if I walked downstairs every day and saw all my achievements it would be so easy to become complacent.
Lauryn Hill
Image
We must not overlook the role that extremists play. They are the gadflies that keep society from being too complacent or self-satisfied they are, if sound, the spearhead of progress. If they are fundamentally wrong, free discussion will in time put an end to them.
Abraham Flexner
Image
# I saw the most beautiful cat today. It was sitting by the side of the road, its two front feet neatly and graciously together. Then it gravely swished around its tail to completely encircle itself. It was so fit and beautifully neat, that gesture, and so self-satisfied, so complacent.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
No one tells you that your life is effectively over when you have a child: that you're never going to draw another complacent breath again... or that whatever level of hypochondria and rage you'd learned to repress and live with is going to seem like the good old days.
Anne Lamott
Image
Now I have a third must-do on my list of things to do with cancer, and it's this: follow your gut, ask questions, don't be complacent.
Cynthia Nixon
Image
I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous and you cannot take anything for granted.
James Wan
Image
Women have to do all of the catching up. So we are disengaged and overburdened. Sounds like it is time we ditch the complacent fluoride-in-the-tap-water feminism and get reenergized and reinspired.
Amy Richards
Image
What is even more worrying still is George Osborne's breathtakingly complacent response to today's figures. This is a Chancellor who is in total denial.
Ed Balls
Image
Once you become complacent and once you're happy with your performance or whatever it is, I don't think you'll get better as quickly.
Blake Griffin
Image
I wake up every morning excited. Rather than become complacent or overwhelmed, I've made a choice for life - and I can do something about it.
Gary Holland
Image
The Qur'an does not ask for human perfection, but rather asks that we persevere in striving for self-improvement and that we never become complacent or despondent about our progress.
Jeffrey Lang
Image
After winning, most teams become individuals most teams become complacent.
Lou Holtz
Image
There's nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their discomfort like a favorite shirt.
Jhonen Vasquez
Image
The best argument for Christianity is Christians: their joy, their certainty, their completeness. But the strongest argument against Christianity is also Christians-when they are somber and joyless, when they are self-righteous and smug in complacent consecration, when they are narrow and repressive, then Christianity dies a thousand deaths.
Joseph C. Aldrich
Image
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
Image
I think that overall, ultimately the impact of advertisers calling the shots is a more cloying, complacent culture. For example, it was just announced that Unilever is branding environmental content at The Guardian. How radical or pointed can that content be?
