Hi appygolaki - here are a few:
-One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire. (John W Foster)
-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)
-Yesterday is a canceled check: Forget it. Tomorrow is a promissory note: Don't count on it. Today is ready cash: Use it!.
(Edwin C. Bliss)
-Carpe diem (seize the day)
-When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free. (Charles Evans Hughes,1862-1948, American jurist, politician)
-Two little words that can make the difference: START NOW.
(Mary C. Crowley)
-Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.(Alexander Hamilton)
-Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. (Mark Twain )
-Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours. (James A. Baldwin)
-Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks. (James A. Baldwin)
-All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers. (Henry David Thoreau)
-I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
(Christopher Reeve) And he should know. God rest his soul.
