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 failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There isn’t a person anywhere who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can.

Henry Ford

With confidence, you have won before you have started.

Marcus Garvey
