I never found
a companion that
was so companionable
as solitude.
–Henry David Thoreau
When I admire the wonders
of a sunset or the
beauty of the moon,
my soul expands
in the worship of
the creator
-Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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 (30th US president, 1872-1933)
