Echoes

Relentless toil conquers all.

The man who has the largest capacity for work and thought is the man who is bound to succeed.

He who endures, conquers.

Through endurance we conquer.

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

I will either find a way or make one.

I will either find a way, or make one.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Through hardship to the stars.

You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things — to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals. The intense effort, the giving of everything you've got, is a very pleasant bonus.

To borrow a simile from the football field, we believe that men must play fair, but that there must be no shirking, and that the success can only come to the player who hits the line hard.

Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

You, the sons of the pioneers, if you are true to your ancestry, must make your lives as worthy as they made theirs. They sought for true success, and therefore they did not seek ease. They knew that success comes only to those who lead the life of endeavor.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.

We will either find a way through these mountains, or we will make a way through them. No barrier of nature shall stop us.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
