"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.

The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ~Calvin Coolidge~

 

"Energy and persistence conquer all things." ~ Benjamin Franklin~
