Vince Lombardi
I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.
Anthony Hamilton
How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of Providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness! Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any." Good is done by degrees. However small in proportion the benefits which follow individual attempts to do good, a great deal may thus be accomplished by perseverance, even in the midst of discouragements and disappointments
George Crabbe
Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly, passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying. We must never give up, regardless of temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements.
Joseph P. Wirthlin
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
Genius is divine perseverance. Genius I cannot claim nor even extra brightness but perseverance all can have.
Woodrow T. Wilson
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
Henry Ward Beecher
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill ... Great works are performed, not by strength, but perseverance.
Samuel Johnson
