"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

 Talent will not;

 nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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.

The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve

the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge
