Nothing in the
world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
-- Calvin Coolidge
1872-1933, Thirtieth
President of the USA
You become a
champion by fighting one more round. When things are tough,
you fight one more round.

They, that
unnamed ''they,'' they've knocked me down but I got up. I
always get up -- and I swear when I went down quite often I
took the fall; nothing moves a mountain but itself. They,
I've long ago named them me.
-- Gregory Corso
1930-, American Author
Do not quit!
Hundreds of times I have watched people throw in the towel
at the one-yard line while someone else comes along and
makes a fortune by just going that extra yard.
-- E. Joseph Cossman
American Businessman, Author,
Lecturer
If I had to
select one quality, one personal characteristic that I
regard as being most highly correlated with success,
whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence.
Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked
down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ''Here
comes number seventy-one!''
-- Richard M. DeVos
1926-, American Businessman,
Co-founder of Amway Corp.
Plenty of men
can do good work for a spurt and with immediate promotion in
mind, but for promotion you want a man in whom good work has
become a habit.
-- Henry L. Doherty
