Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility
of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your
weaknesses… on your powers, instead of your problems.
-Paul J. Meyer
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
-Thomas Jefferson
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. The slogan
‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the
problems of the human race.
-Calvin
Coolidge
All growth depends upon
activity. There is no development
physically or intellectually
without effort, and effort means
work.
-Calvin Coolidge
An invincible determination can accomplish almost
anything and in this lies the great distinction
between great men and little men.
-Thomas Fuller
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in
common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major
anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
-John Kenneth Galbraith
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born — that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This
myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic
qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders
are made rather than born.
-Warren G. Bennis
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can
appreciate persistence.
-Hal Borland
