This persistence as private firms continued because it ensured the maximum of anonymity and secrecy to persons of tremendous public power who dreaded public knowledge of their activities as an evil almost as great as inflation.

John Bates Clark
Writing is the only thing I've ever done with persistence, except for being married.
Richard Ford
You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.
Octavia Butler

William Eardley IV
Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.
Bill Bradley
As for goals, I don't set myself those anymore. I'm not one of these 'I must have achieved this and that by next year' kind of writers. I take things as they come and find that patience and persistence tend to win out in the end.
Paul Kane

Bjorn Borg
Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance.
Anthony J. D'Angelo

Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
Paralyze resistance with persistence.
Woody Hayes
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Thomas Carlyle
Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.
Napoleon Hill
Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.
