about half of what
separates the
successful
entrepreneurs from

ones is pure
perseverance.
11. Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
The miracle, or the
power, that elevates
the few is to be
found in their
industry, application,
and perseverance
under the prompting
of a brave,
determined spirit.
12. Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
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.
13. Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
... there are persons who seem to have
overcome obstacles and by character
and perseverance to have risen to the
top. But we have no record of the
numbers of able persons who fall by the
wayside, persons who, with enough
encouragement and opportunity, might
make great contributions.
14. Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter,
Jr.) (b. 1924)
It would be naive to think that
peace and justice can be
achieved easily. No set of
rules or study of history will
automatically resolve the
problems.... However, with
faith and perseverance,...
complex problems in the past
have been resolved in our
search for justice and peace.
