It does not take great men to do great things; it only takes consecrated men.
-Phillips Brooks.
How do you tackle your work each day?
With confidence clear, or dread?
What to yourself do you stop and say
When a new task lies ahead?
What is the thought that is in your mind?
Is fear ever running through it?
If so, just tackle the next you find
By thinking you’re going to do it.
-Edgar Guest.
Because the task is difficult too many tire and quit,
But that’s the time to summon up your patience and your grit,
And that’s the time to prove your skill.
So stick it out and work until
You justify your faith that you
Can do what any man can do.
-Edgar Guest.
Heroism is simple, and yet it is rare. Everyone who does the best he can is a hero.
-Josh Billings.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, “Press On,” has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.
-Coolidge.
