I needs lots of coaching on perseverance because this essential virtue depends on another one called patience, which God ran out of the day He made me.
Here are some beautiful quotes on perseverance:
“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.” — Louis D. Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice
“Don’t feel entitled to anything you didn’t sweat and struggle for.” — Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children’s Defense Fund
“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T.S. Eliot Poet
“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.” — Robert G. Ingersoll, Poet
“We can do anything we want if we stick to it long enough.” — Helen Keller

In memory of our recently lost genius…
“I’m convinced that half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” – Steve Jobs
Great collection
Thank you for posting!
More of these please
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.
Education will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved
And always will solve the problems of the human race. (Calvin Coolidge)
