POINTS TO PONDER ON YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE...

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.  Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. ... Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.  The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

~Calvin Coolidge~

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."

~Helen Keller~

"If you can imagine it,

You can achieve it.

If you can dream it,

You can become it."

~William Arthur Ward~

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail."

~Confucius~

"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best."

~Henry Van Dyke~

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed."

~Booker R. Washington~
