Perseverance - Power Quotes Series

Last week I wrote about patience and now the start of this week, I am touching on perseverance. It is funny how the two run so close together. I truly believe that the two have so much similarities that they are two traits that one should possess.

In today's business world, and even in our personal lives, we must learn how to persevere more than ever before. It is truly a difficult time, but it is a time that we can chart our way through with a little patience and perseverance.

I hope that you find some inspiration in today's quotes. Also, click on the picture to take a leap to another world. Thanks for your continued support.

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."
John Quincy Adams

"Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance."
Samuel Johnson <

"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."
H. Ross Perot

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't."
Henry Ward Beecher

"If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius."
Joseph Addison

"A jug fills drop by drop."
Buddha

"How do you do get some many visitors to the site?, I am asked. I reply, by persevering, by not giving up, by sticking to it!"
Catherine Pulsifer

"Life is not easy for any of us. We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained." Marie Curie

"Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another."

Some time ago a friend of mine gave me a wall hanging that I have in my office. It doesn't show an author:

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worse,

that you must not quit.

I love the Ross Perot quote! It is like when you are tired and want to leave the office for the day, or close the open house a bit early, that the patience and perseverance to answer (or make) the next phone call or welcome the next person through the door might just achieve the desired result.

Tracey, thanks. I work hard on them to make it look good.

Evelyn, that is a great poem

Rich, Hans Hamburger once said "When you are finished for the day and ready to go home, sit down and make 2 more calls". It works.

Catherine Pulsifer is a wise, wise lady...I almost gave up on AR about two months ago, until I realized that I would be a fool to turn my back on such a wonderful community.

I love your posts on such contemplative topics.

Kim, thanks for coming by. I am glad that you did not leave as the Rain would be lonely without you.

Hello Danny - cool links from the photos! My favorite above all is Marie Curie - against many odds she is an unbelievable example of perseverence!

Marie Curie grew up in a communist country at a time it was unheard of for women to be educated let alone win Nobel peace prizes and become University presidents as she did!

She died from over exposure to the very discoveries she pursued, she added elements to the periodical table ( radium ) and because of her work throughout the ages people will benefit...we have xrays to diagnose health issues and therapy to shrink tumors beacause of her obsessive pursuit of scientific discoveries!

thanks for sharing these!

Sincerely,

Grace
