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.

The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

~ Calvin Coolidge
