PERSEVERANCE
Quotes
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through them.
Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
There is not enough darkness in the world to extinguish a single candle flame.
If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
