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 alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. (Calvin Coolidge in Do It Now by Edwin C. Bliss, p. 158)
- Daily vigilance will turn out to be a small price to pay for my peace of mind. (Courage to Change, 4 January)
