Work and Opportunity

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 alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge

If A is success in life, then A equals X plus Y plus Z. Work is X, Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut. Albert Einstein

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Thomas Edison

You can’t build a reputation on what you’re GOING to do. Henry Ford

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

The man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it. Harry Emerson Fosdick

Do or do not. There is no try. –Yoda
