"People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved."

Perseverance
"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. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
- Calvin Coolidge
Persistence
"I have stood on a mountain of no’s for one yes."
- Barbara Elaine Smith
Persistence
"First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice."
- Octavia Butler
