Perseverance is a virtue that cannot be understated.

Thankfully, persistence is a great substitute for talent.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

I was taught the way of progress is neither swift nor easy.

It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

It is the cheerful mind that is persevering. It is the strong mind that hews its way through a thousand difficulties.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.

What keeps me going is goals.

Courage doesn’t always roar.

From caring comes courage.

Courage, dear heart.

One man with courage makes a majority.

Courage is like a muscle; it is strengthened by use.

An overflow of good converts to bad.

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.
