"Press on: Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals 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." Calvin Coolidge
"Commitment is what occurs when desire and self-discipline come together. It's an inward desire to achieve your best because you want to, not because you have to. It is commitment that keeps you going in spite of discouragement, disillusionment, and defeat. It is commitment that keeps you practicing, preparing, and producing when it would be easier to call it quits." Randy Pennington
