Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in this 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.

If you do not know the laws of right conduct...In life, so many things are taken for granted...I like the word 'indolence'. It makes my laziness...If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked...Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966...We have committed the Golden Rule to memory...
