Pearls of Wisdom

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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.  The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

-Calvin Coolidge

For all things difficult to acquire, the intelligent man works with perseverance.

-Lao Tzu

Boys, there ain’t no free lunches in this country.  And don’t go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals.  You’ve got to say, that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough, I can have it.  It’s called perseverance.

-Lee Ioccoca
