On Persistence
“I’m very determined and stubborn. There’s a desire in me that makes me want to do more and more, and to do it right. Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It’s our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.”
Mary Lou Retton
On Opportunities
“We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”
Lee Iacocca
On Persistence
“Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.
We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it but sail we must, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”
Oliver Wendall Holmes
On 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.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

On Persistence

Jim Watkins
On Persistence
“My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.”
