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


The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.  ~Author Unknown


When the world says, "Give up,"  Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
~Author Unknown


Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.  Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger.  If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.  ~Dale Carnegie


Nobody trips over mountains.  It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble.  Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.  ~Author Unknown


When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.  ~Franklin D. Roosevelt


Consider the postage stamp:  its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.  ~Josh Billings


Fall seven times, stand up eight.  ~Japanese Proverb


The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.  ~Author Unknown


If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.  ~Flavia Weedn, Flavia and the Dream Maker


He conquers who endures.  ~Persius


Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.  ~Newt Gingrich


The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.  ~Author Unknown, in reference to Ecclesiastes 9:11, "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happened to them all."


You can't go through life quitting everything.  If you're going to achieve anything, you've got to stick with something.  ~From the television show Family Matters


It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.  ~Albert Einstein


Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.  ~Walter Elliott, The Spiritual Life

Water, continually dripping, will wear a hard rock hollow.  Plutarch

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.  Albert Einstein


I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.  A
lbert Einstein


We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.  H
elen Keller


Fall seven times. Stand up eight.   Japanese proverb


Only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.
Dag Hammarskjold


Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas Edison


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 will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge


I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost more than 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. . . . And that is why I succeed.  
Michael Jordan


Champions keep playing until they get it right.   
Billie Jean King


All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of you first.     Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.    
Brian Tracy


The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory.    
Ted W. Engstrom


When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.   Harriet Beecher Stowe


It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired, you quit when the gorilla is tired.    Robert Strauss

Thank you for this wonderful message. I have had many downline the last year, who signed up and disappeared within 2 or 3 months, no effort put into their business and establishing it. No matter what company or product you have, you have to like the product (preferrabley LOVE the product) and company, and you have to be persistent, work at it, and have goals set for your development and your businesses development over the next year or two! Warm wishes for a healthy and prosperous Century! Linda
