Quotes on Persistence

Persistence is the ability of a person to not give up and keep on trying to reach his goals. There are days when life feels dark, hopeless and giving up is the only option left. But these are the times when your heart will want you to believe in something and your mind will suggest you to quit. They say persistence is the ability of the mind. I believe that persistence is the ability of the heart with the support of the mind and body. I like collecting quotes because it makes me feel that I am not alone. Here a few of them which make me ready to hustle again.

A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.” — John A. Shedd.

An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew hoping he’ll quickly learn how to chew it. – Roy Ash.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

If you don’t have big dreams and goals, you will end up working for someone who does.
