Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

A patient man will eat ripe fruit.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so act toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence—natural ability notwithstanding.

This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.

Football is like life—it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other persons point of view and see things from his angle as well as your own.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

The man who earns a million, but destroys his health in the process is not really a success.

It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
