"A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop."
~Robert Hughes
"What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it. "
~Alexander Graham Bell
"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. Education alone 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."
~John Calvin Coolidge
"It’s a very funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
~William Somerset Maugham
