Perseverance Quotations Click  Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.Adams, President John Quincy You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purposeAdams, William They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.Bacon, Sir Francis Consider the postage stamp; its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.Billings, Josh Like an old gold-panning prospector, you must resign yourself to digging up a lot of sand from which you will later patiently wash out a few minute particles of gold ore.Bryant, Dorothy With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.Buxton, Sir Thomas Foxwell Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.Carlyle, Thomas Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.Carnegie, Dale Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time a tremendous whack.Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer (Assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit) Constant practice devoted to one subject often outdoes both intelligence and skillCicero, Marcus Tullius You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face, it's nothing against you to fall down flat, but to lie there - that's disgraceCooke, Edmund Vance 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 failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.Coolidge, President Calvin You become a champion by fighting one more round. When things are tough, you fight one more round.Corbett, James John Errors like straws upon the surface flow: He who would search for pearls must dive below.Dryden, John « Previous Page | Next Page » |
