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 are omnipotent.The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Calvin Coolidge

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Napoleon Hill

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it

Micheal Jordan

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it’s the size of the fight in the dog

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.

H. Jackson Browne

Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Marilyn vos Savant
