It's when things get rough and you don't quit that success comes.

By persisting in your path, though you forfeit the little, you gain the great.

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

We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.

Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.

A jug fills drop by drop.

If you get up one time more than you fall, you will make it through.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.

Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. that's not the place to become discouraged.
