Quote

Theodore Roosevelt·1897

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.

Winston Churchill·1940

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.

Confucius·500 BC

The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration.
