Transcending Thought

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

Quotes by Calvin Coolidge

Accomplishing Something of Consequence

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done.

Honor is a Reward

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Persistence

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 failures Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
