If a man has any brains at all, let him hold on to his calling, and, in the grand sweep of things, his turn will come at last. -W. McCune

The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blenches, the thought that never wanders, these are the masters of victory. -Burke

No road is too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; and no honors are too distant for the man who prepares himself for them with patience. -Bruyere

Perseverance and audacity generally win. -Madame Deluzy

Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair. -Burke

Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before. -Polybius

Hard pounding, gentlemen; but we will see who can pound the longest. -Wellington at Waterloo

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure. -Edward Eggleston
