  2. 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

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning


    No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.

    Aristotle
