Persistence

I am always collecting quotes.  Here are two on the power of persistence. 

"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.  The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."    Calvin Coolidge

"There is no substitute for persistence!  It cannot be supplanted by any other quality!  Remember this, and it will hearten you, in the beginning, when the going may seem difficult and slow.  Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure."  Napolean Hill

A whole chapter was devoted to persistence in Napolean Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich.  That's certainly something to think about! 

Onward and Upward,
