More quotes on never giving up

Thoughtlessness — By Ryan on February 27, 2012 6:12 pm

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill

“If at first you don’t succeed, you’re running about average.” M.H. Alderson

“One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic – something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word “decide” contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.” Maltbie Davenport Babcock
