Persistence and determination are key to success, according to three motivational quotes. Calvin Coolidge states that talent and genius alone will not lead to success and it is persistence that solves humanity's problems. Herbert Kaufman echoes that persistence coupled with courage and ambition can turn failure into victory. Matt Biondi sums up that persistence can transform failure into extraordinary achievement.

persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius 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."
-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States
