"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 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 have acquired some nasty habits--although I tend to call it 'running'. I get to the hardest breath, slide to a mind jerking stop, and backtrack. Then I wonder what the fear was all about.
Great quotes.
For some strange reason, whenever I read that quote by Winston Churchill, tears come to my eyes. When I ponder all that Britain and the world faced in those dark hours and the sacrifices they made on a daily basis, my struggles seem so small and perservering seems the logical choice. I do wonder who encouraged Winston when he grew weary.
My husband says I am like a dog with a dish rag, I never give up. In doing so I have found I am really good at nothing but persistant about everything. These are remarkable quotes, thanks for sharing.
