With
all the infinite possibilities of spiritual life before
you,
do not settle down on a little patch of dusty ground
at the mountain's foot
in restful content. Be not
content until you reach the mountain's summit.
J.R. Miller

We can do anything we want
to do
if we stick to it long enough.
Helen
Keller
Don't worry about genius. Don't worry about
being clever. Trust to hard work, perseverance, and
determination. And the best motto for a long march is,
"Don't grumble. Plug on!"

One always
stops as soon as
something is about to happen.
Peter Brook |

I'm a little wounded, but I am not
slain;
I will lay me down to bleed a while.
Then I'll rise and fight again.
John Dryden |

Never give in! Never,
never, never, never. . . .
In nothing great or small,
large or petty,
never give in except to convictions or
honor and good sense!
Sir Winston Churchill |

many years you have to keep on doing,
until you know what
to do and how to do!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |

|
You can surmount the obstacles in your path
if you are determined,
courageous and hard-working. Never
be fainthearted. Be resolute,
but never bitter. . . .
Permit no one to dissuade you from pursuing
the goals you
set for yourselves. Do not fear to pioneer,
to venture
down new paths of endeavor.
Ralph J. Bunche |

Emotional
maturity is the ability to stick to a job
and to struggle
through until it is finished,
to endure unpleasantness,
discomfort and frustration.
Edward A. Strecker |

The first and final
thing you have to do in this world is to last in it, and
not be smashed by it.
Ernest Hemingway |
No
one ever did anything worth doing unless they were prepared
to go on with it long after it became something of a bore.
Douglas V. Steere |

The great
thing, and the hard thing, is to stick to things
when you
have outlived the first interest, and not yet
got the
second, which comes with a sort of mastery.
Janet Erskine Stuart |

If something is boring after two
minutes, try it for four.
If still boring, try for eight,
sixteen, thirty-two, and so on.
Eventually, one discovers
that it is not boring, but very interesting.

I
just kept on doing what everyone starts out doing.
The
real question is, why did other people stop?

I realized early on
that success was tied to not giving up.
Most people in
this business gave up and went on to other things.
If you
simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people
who
came in on the bus with you.
