PERSISTENCE - Quotes from the papers of Tom "Grandpa" Glennon

“A psychologist says that the two qualities which can breed success are persistence and concentration = = try it in prayer”

“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 always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“Sow a Thought and you will
            REAP AN ACT;
Sow and Act and you will
            REAP A HABIT;
Sow a Habit and you will
            REAP A CHARACTER;
Sow a Character and you will
            REAP A DESTINY;”

“Ideas and thoughts precede action.  Ideas have consequences.”

“Without constancy there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the world.”  --Addison

“The courtship of failure leads to success.”
