Perseverance

Neither evil tongues, rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all the dreary intercourse of daily life, shall ever prevail against us.
- Wordsworth, William
Perseverance Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Perseverance

1.
When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
Riis, Jacob

2.
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

3.
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacle s, discouragement s, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
Carlyle, Thomas

4.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Edison, Thomas A.

5.
Do not quit! Hundreds of times I have watched people throw in the towel at the one-yard line while someone else comes along and makes a fortune by just going that extra yard.
Cossman, E. Joseph

6.
A man is not finished when he's defeated; he's finished when he quits.
Nixon, Richard M.

7.
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.
Burke, Edmund

8.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.
Hill, Napoleon

9.
To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man.
Euripides

10.
You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.
Iacocca, Lee

11.
I will hold.
Motto

12.
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up when taken little by little.
Plutarch

13.
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

14.
A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop make the inundation.
Saadi

15.
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

16.
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

17.
If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed.
Howard, Curly

18.
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.
Elliott, Walter

19.
One should act in consonance with the way of heaven and earth, which is enduring and eternal. The superior man perseveres long in his course, adapts to the times, but remains firm in his direction and correct in his goals.
I Ching

20.
The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.
Lucretius

21.
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

22.
I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.
Lincoln, Abraham

23.
It's when things get rough and you don't quit that success comes.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The most interesting thing about a postage stamp is the persistence with which it sticks to its job.
Hill, Napoleon

27.
Perseverance, self-reliance, energetic effort, are doubly strengthened when your rise to battle again.

28.
Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean.
Ross, Percy

29.
God Almighty hates a quitter.
Fessenden, Samuel

30.
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
Morley, Christopher

31.
The only way to overcome is to hang in.
O'Brien, Dan

32.
It's always too soon to quit.
Scoates, David T.

33.
I've got a woman's ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.
Thatcher, Margaret

34.
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

35.
Perseverance gives power to weakness, and opens to poverty the world's wealth. It spreads fertility over the barren landscape, and buds the choicest flowers and fruits spring up and flourish in the desert abode of thorns and briars.
Goodrich, Samuel G.

36.
Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.
Iacocca, Lee

37.
If you are truly flexible and go until... there is really very little you can't accomplish in your lifetime.
Robbins, Anthony

38.
If you've got the guts to stick it out... you're going to make it.
Hays, Brian

Bible

43.
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

44.
There's only one way you can fail, and that's to quit.
Hays, Brian

45.
Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.
Herodotus

46.
Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, accomplished.
Grant, Ulysses S.

47.
Your biggest break can come from never quitting. Being at the right place at the right time can only happen when you keep moving toward the next opportunity.
Pine, Arthur

48.
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
Allen, George E.

49.
Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.
Proverb, African
