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 alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
The Past is to be respected and acknoledged, but not to be worshiped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.
If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.

Be more prompt to go to a friend in adversity than in prosperity.

Make a decision, even if it's wrong.
