If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ''Here comes number seventy-one!''

I have seen countless people make a choice to be confident. If you don't naturally feel bold and confident, you can choose an attitude of confidence.

You make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

This is an exciting world. It is cram packed with opportunity. Great moments await around every corner.

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

Persistence is stubbornness with a purpose.

The easiest thing to find on God's green earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do.
