|  The anger of a person who is strong, can always bide its time. | | Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these. | | When you awaken some morning and hear that somebody or other has been discovered, you can put it down as a fact that he discovered himself years ago - since that time he has been toiling, working, and striving to make himself worthy of general discovery. | | The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come. | | It is no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and sends rain - Why, rain's my choice. | | When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. | | The ripest peach is highest on the tree. |
