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
|
The mind is not a vessel to be filled,
but a fire to be kindled. -- Plutarch
You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish, if
you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
-- Abraham Lincoln
He who would make an enemy,
where he could have made a friend,
has departed from the path of wisdom.
Actions speak louder than words,
to those with the wisdom to listen. -- K. H.
