When someone tells me “no,” it doesn’t mean I can’t do it, it simply means I can’t do it with them.
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.
The key of persistence opens all doors closed by resistance.
It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.
Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure.
If you don’t start somewhere, you’re gonna go nowhere.
Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now.
Start where you are, with what you have. Make something of it and never be satisfied.
God wants you to be a winner, not a whiner.
Every obstacle yields to stern resolve.
Never, under any conditions allow circumstances to determine your reality.
The persistent man with a poor plan stands a better chance of winning than the man with a perfect plan who hesitates and waivers in carrying it out.
