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 alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. -Calvin Coolidge (Quote 1250 of 2373 added on 6/10/2002 11:33:19 AM)
