Perseverance

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
- Beecher, Henry Ward
Perseverance Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Perseverance

1.
When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

2.
To be somebody you must last.
Gordon, Ruth

3.
Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer, maybe I could've got one.
Twain, Mark

4.
The most essential factor is persistence -- the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.
Riley, James Whitcomb

5.
The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory.
Engstrom, Ted W.

6.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. [James 1:4]
Bible

7.
Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
Hill, Napoleon

8.
The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.
Hill, Napoleon

9.
To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained -- who can say this is not greatness?
Thackeray, William M.

10.
Don't worry about genius. Don't worry about being clever. Trust to hard work, perseverance and determination. And the best motto for a long march is: Don't grumble. Plug on!
Treves, Sir Thomas

11.
If you keep working at it, in the last analysis, you win. They've got to kill us a hundred times. All we have to do is kill them once.
Smith, Frederick

12.
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Einstein, Albert

13.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Edison, Thomas A.

14.
There is genius in persistence. It conquers all opposers. It gives confidence. It annihilates obstacles. Everybody believes in a determined man. People know that when he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.
Marden, Orison Swett

15.
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.
Borg, Bjorn

16.
You have to persevere. You have to do it. I have insecurities. But whatever I'm insecure about I don't dissect it, but I'll go after it and say, What am I afraid of? I bet the average successful person can tell you they've failed so much more than they've had success. I've had far more failures than I've had successes. With every commercial I've gotten, there were 200 I didn't get. You have to go after what you're afraid of.
Sorbo, Kevin

17.
No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning.
Petty, Richard

18.
Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

19.
Persist and persevere, and you will find most things that are attainable, possible.
Chesterfield, Lord

20.
Don't halt before you are lame.
Proverb, English

21.
Perseverance, self-reliance, energetic effort, are doubly strengthened when your rise to battle again.

22.
Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall.
Harris, Sidney J.

23.
I am confident. I never give up.
Vicario, Arantxa Sanchez

24.
Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never -- in nothing great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Churchill, Winston

25.
Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean.
Ross, Percy

26.
Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.
Riley, James Whitcomb

27.
No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
Epictetus

28.
Plenty of men can do good work for a spurt and with immediate promotion in mind, but for promotion you want a man in whom good work has become a habit.
Doherty, Henry L.

29.
It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired, you quit when the gorilla is tired.
Strauss, Robert

30.
The person who wins may have been counted out several times, but didn't hear the referee.

31.
If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, Here comes number seventy-one!
DeVos, Richard M.

32.
To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals -- this alone is worth the struggle.
Osler, Sir William

33.
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Palmer, Arnold

34.
Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

35.
Never give up. Keep your thoughts and your mind always on the goal.
Bradley, Tom

36.
Persevere in virtue and diligence.
Livy, Titus

37.
Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.
Proverb, African

38.
If you haven't struck oil in the first three minutes - stop boring!
Jessel, George

39.
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
Rohn, Jim

40.
It helps, I think, to consider ourselves on a very long journey: the main thing is to keep to the faith, to endure, to help each other when we stumble or tire, to weep and press on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

41.
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

Herhiser, Orel

44.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher

45.
Champions keep playing until they get it right.
King, Billie Jean

46.
History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.
Forbes, B. C.

47.
Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. that's not the place to become discouraged.
Edison, Thomas A.

48.
If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed.
Howard, Curly

49.
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake somebody.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

50.
One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.
Allen, George
