No rock so
hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand
years.
-- Lord Alfred Tennyson
1809-1892, British Poet
To endure is
greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be
daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost
it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition
when the end is gained -- who can say this is not greatness?
-- William M. Thackeray
1811-1863, Indian-born
British Novelist
You may have
to fight a battle more than once to win it.

I've got a

Don't worry
about genius. Don't worry about being clever. Trust to hard
work, perseverance and determination. And the best motto for
a long march is: ''Don't grumble. Plug on!''
-- Sir Thomas Treves
The miracle,
or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their
industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting
of a brave, determined spirit.

Stars are good
too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I
suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far
off they are, for they do not look it. When they first
showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole,
but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods
till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make
some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail
right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty
times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out
a little longer, maybe I could've got one.
