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, determination and hard work make the difference. - Calvin CoolidgeOur greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other? - George EliotFinish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat lies before us and what lies beyond us is tiny compared to what lies within us. - Oliver Wendell HolmesWhen you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. - Thomas JeffersonYour vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. - Carl JungFriendship with one's self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. - Eleanor RooseveltLife isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. - George Bernard Shaw~Resistance drains energy~~Acceptance saves it~~Cheerfulness sustains it~ - Anonymous People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. - Soren Kierkegaard Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. - Henry David ThoreauI find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. - Thomas Jefferson First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. - Mahatma Gandhi Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go. - Oscar Wilde The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. - Albert Einstein I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.- Thomas Alva Edison The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true. - James Branch CabellThe true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. - Samuel Johnson
