To convert ideas and good intentions into something real and positive requires time and perseverance.
Eugenio Mendoza
Nothing of great value in life comes easily. The things of highest value sometimes come hard. The gold that has the greatest value lies deepest in the earth, as do the diamonds.
Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993, American Christian reformed pastor, speaker, author)
Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.
H. Ross Perot (1930-, American businessman, founder of EDS)
All great achievements require time.
David J. Schwartz (American trainer, author of "The Magic of Thinking Big")
Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.

Again failed in business at 34. Sweetheart died at 35. Had a nervous breakdown at 36. Defeated in election at 38. Defeated for Congress at 43. Defeated for Congress at 46. Defeated for Congress at 48. Defeated for Senate at 55. Defeated for Vice President at 56. Defeated for Senate at 58. Elected President at age 60. This man was Abraham Lincoln.

Keep on trying. Each failure is one step closer to a success.
Thomas J. Vilord
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.
Dale Carnegie (1888-1955, American trainer, author, "How to Win Friends and Influence People")
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. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933, American President (30th))
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931, American inventor, founder of GE)
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955, German-born American physicist)
History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.
B.C. Forbes
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.
Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774, Anglo-Irish author, poet, playwright)
Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784, British author)

There's only one way you can fail, and that's to quit.
Brian Hays
Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
Napoleon Hill (1883-1970, American speaker, author, "Think And Grow Rich")
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Louis E. Boone (American author)
Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.
Napoleon Hill (1883-1970, American speaker, author, "Think And Grow Rich")
Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.
Napoleon Hill (1883-1970, American speaker, author, "Think And Grow Rich")
People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.
Lao-Tzu (BC 600-?, Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism)
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton (1885-1945, American army general during World War II)
Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching, I've learned from making mistakes.
Rick Pitino (1952-, American college basketball coach)
