"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.

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." (John) Calvin Coolidge 4.8873 average rating Rate this Quote
