Persistence

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
C. S. Lewis


Nothing in the world can take the 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 derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.  The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

- Calvin Coolidge 



I fell.  I got up.  I fell again.  I got up again.  Even when I fell on my face, I was still falling forward.
- Catherine Ann



Persistence is the fifth and final pillar of self-discipline. - anon.
