in mind, if you are going to amount

no easy path to glory. There is no road
to fame. Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes
call for fighting, For endurance and
for grit; For a rugged disposition that
will not quit." Navy SEAL Masterchief

only good luck many great men ever had

nothing seems to help, I go and look
at a stonecutter hammering away at his

at the hundred and first blow it will
split in two, and I know it was not
that blow that did it - but all that
had gone before." Jacob Riis

self-control."Anonymous

"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.

are omnipotent. The slogan "press
on" has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race."John
