on the virtue of Perseverance





Water, continually dripping,
will wear a hard rock hollow.
Plutarch

Calvin Coolidge





I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost more than 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. . . . And that is why I succeed.  
Michael Jordan





Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Ralph Waldo Emerson





Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
Brian Tracy





The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory.

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

It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired, you quit when the gorilla is tired.
Robert Strauss





The mighty oak was once a little nut that stood its ground.
