If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience
your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.
Jospeph Addison
The man who makes a success of an important venture never
wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes
nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that
succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the
man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance.
These chances are the main things after all. The man who
tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing
important was ever done but the greater number consulted
previously doubted the possibility. Success is the
accomplishment of that which most people think can't be
done.
C. V. White
The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple
means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for
the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and
perseverance.
Owen Feltham
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from
achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental
attitude.
Thomas Jefferson
