Quote
Calvin Coolidge in 1919
Persistence is a virtue, as Calvin Coolidge said:
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.
