Answer 1

Oh, I have a lot of them I like.  It depends on the situation.

Mark Twain is my favorite.  " It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."  -  Mark Twain

Einstein is no slouch either.  "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." - : Albert Einstein

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't." - Henry Ward Beecher

"Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel." - Napoleon Hill

"Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall." - Sydney Harris

Gotta love this guy.   "Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.' It's called perseverance." - Lee Iacocca

"To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend." - Mahatma Ghandi

"As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance,cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side." - Mahatma Ghandi



"Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose." - Friedrich Nietzsche

LOL!  Einstein again, this time on life:   "The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat." - Albert Einstein

Hope you enjoyed.  I did.

Perseverance -- Know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to run.
