Perseverance Quotes
"On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will
reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so
that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow."
Friedrich
Nietzsche
"In
the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream
always wins- not through strength but by perseverance."
H.
Jackson Brown
"With
time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin. With time and
patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown." Chinese
Proverb perseverance quotes

of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success
because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are
determined to." George E.
Allen

is more prevailing than violence; and many things which
cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when
taken little by little." Plutarch

is not a long race; it is many short races one after
another." Walter
Elliott

of the important things in the world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all."
Dale
Carnegie
"All
great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a
second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a
man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance
immensely the value of your first." Ralph
Waldo Emerson
"Consider
the postage stamp; its usefulness consists in the ability to
stick to one thing until it gets there." Josh
Billings
"Some
men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal;
While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the
last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."
Herodotus
"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 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 perseverance quotes
"I do not think there is any other
quality so essential to success of
any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost
everything, even nature."
John
D. Rockefeller More quotes, perserverance

is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to
continue that counts."
Winston
Churchill
".
. . be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life."
[Revelations 2:10] Bible
"Success
seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don't quit."
Conrad
Hilton
"If
I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I
regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the
field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will
to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off
the floor saying. "Here comes number seventy-one!"
Richard
M. Devos Smilar quotes: perseverance quotes, perserverance, quotes
"Good
ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into
practice with courageous patience." Admiral
Hyman Rickover
"For
a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again."
[Proverbs
24:16] Bible
"He
who asks of life nothing but the improvement of his own nature… is
less liable than anyone else to miss and waste life."
Henri
Frederic
Amiel
"The
horizon is out there somewhere, and you just keep chasing it,
looking for it, and working for it."
Bob
Dole
"One
of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking
that success is due to some genius, some magic - something or other
which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and
failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music,
take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success
or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word
"decide" contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip
that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese
proverb, "With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin."
Maltbie
Davenport Babcock
"Pay
as little attention to discouragement as possible. Plough ahead as
a steamer does, rough or smooth - rain or shine. To carry your cargo
and make your port is the point. "
Maltbie

at first you don't succeed, you're running about average." M.H.
Alderson

order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through
what is." Anonymous
"Patience
and perseverance surmount every difficulty." Anonymous

is no point at which having arrived we can remain."
Anonymous
"It
is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the body still
perseveres."
Marcus
Aurelius Antoninus Smilar quotes: perseverance quotes, perserverance, quotes
"A
man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his
industry and his diligence, he perseveres, and infallibly prevails at
last." Lord
Chesterfield
"Never
give up. Never, never give up!. We shall go on to the end."
Winston
Churchill
"Sure
I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have
only to persevere to save yourselves." Winston
Churchill
"We
shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight
in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight
with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall
defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the
beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the
fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never
surrender. . . . And if, which I do not for a moment believe, this
island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our
empires beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will
carry on the fight, until in God’s own time the new world in its power
and might steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old."
Winston
Churchill
"What
counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's
the size of the fight in the dog."
General
Dwight Eisenhower
"Perseverance
is not a long race; it is many short races one after
another." Walter
Elliott
".
. . The race is not [always] to the swift, nor the battle to the
strong. . ." [Ecclesiastes
9:11] Bible
"Good
luck is another name for tenacity of purpose." Ralph
Waldo Emerson
"Don't
let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to
begin where he was."
Richard
L. Evans
"Perseverance
is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied
by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a
concussion in the head than a hole in the wall."
Sydney
J. Harris Smilar quotes: perseverance quotes, perserverance
"Before
success comes in any man's life he is sure to meet with much
temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failures. When defeat overtakes a
man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is
exactly what the majority of men do." Napoleon
Hill
"No
man is ever whipped, until he quits -- in his own mind." Napoleon
Hill
"Persistence
is to the character of man as carbon is to steel."
Napoleon
Hill Smilar quotes: perseverance quotes, perserverance, quotes

persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which
fail." Napoleon
Hill

Hubbard

works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance."
Dr.
Samuel Johnson
"In
one of the decisive battles of World War I, disastrous reports
poured into the headquarters of Marshal Foch, the commander of the
Allied forces. The great general never lost heart. When things were at
their worst, he drafted his famous order which is now in all textbooks
of military strategy: "My center is giving way, my right is pushed
back, my left is wavering. The situation is excellent. I shall attack!"
James
Keller
"When
Babe Didrickson Zaharias, often called the ’athletic phenomenon
of all time,’ won the British woman’s gold tournament, people said of
her what they had said many times before: "Oh, she’s an automatic
champion, a natural athlete." When Babe started golfing in earnest
thirteen years ago she hit as many as 1,000 balls in one afternoon,
playing until her hands were so sore they had to be taped." James
Keller
"Having
chosen our course, without guile and with pure purpose, let us
renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly
hearts." Abraham
Lincoln
"It
is not enough to begin; continuance is necessary. Mere enrollment
will not make one a scholar; the pupil must continue in the school
through the long course, until he masters every branch. Success depends
upon staying power. The reason for failure in most cases is lack of
perseverance." Miller
"Slaying
the dragon of delay is no sport for the short-winded." Sandra
Day O'Connor
"Perseverance
is more prevailing than violence; and many things which
cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when
taken little by little." Plutarch
"If
you are truly flexible and go until . . . there is really very
little you can't accomplish in your lifetime."

people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're
signed up for a season, see it through. You don't
have to stay forever,
but at least stay until you see it through."

Sterne
"The
miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in
their industry, application, and perseverance under the promptings of a
brave, determined spirit." Mark Twain similar quote
"Perseverance
is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly,
passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us
hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except
in giving up and no longer trying. We must never give up, regardless of
temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements." Joseph
P. Wirthlin
"I
learned about the strength you can get from a close family life. I
learned to keep going, even in bad times. I learned not to despair,
even when my world was falling apart. I learned that there are no free
lunches. And I learned the value of hard work."
Lee Iacocca similar perseverance quote

don't become enormously successful without encountering and
overcoming a number of extremely challenging problems."

that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with
equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the
former is not likely to be transported with the latter."
Henry
Fielding

leader, once convinced that a particular course of action is the
right one, must....be undaunted when the going gets tough."
Ronald
Reagan
"Fight
one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly
lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose
is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish
your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep,
fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one
more round is never whipped." James
Corbett perseverance
"Perseverance
is more prevailing than violence and many things which
cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up when
taken little by little." Plutarch

fight on in the face of discouragement."
Napoleon
Hill

and perseverance have a magical effect before which
difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."
