The longer I live, the surer I become that the truest real difference between the success and the failure, between the strong and the weak, between the rich and the poor, between the great and the average, is just plain will power, invincible determination, a purpose once set and then death or victory.And no fine manners, education or brilliance, no talent, opportunity or culture can make any two-legged creature a man without it.

Sir Thomas Buxton

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

Napoleon Hill

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal

Napoleon Hill
