Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni has this great weekly ritual of posting Favorite Quotes – the quotes that people come up with are very inspiring, so if you haven’t had a chance to check out Quotable Sunday, now’s your chance! 😉 This week I have chosen quotes about ‘Perseverance’…enjoy! 😉

“Believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail.” William Faulkner

“Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting. Christopher Morley

“Boys, there ain’t no free lunches in this country. And don’t go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance.” Lee Iacocca

“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.” John Albert Michener

“Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.” Dan Rather

“Decide carefully, exactly what you want in life, then work like mad to make sure you get it!” Hector Crawford

  1. this is one of my favorites – the roadblocks aren’t there to prevent you from achieving what you want; they’re there to show you how much you really want it.

  2. Lee Iococca’s is a great quote!

    I may save that one for my classroom wall. He spells it very well for the kids.

    One of my favorite student’s once said – her dad told her to always ponder – what else can I do when she thinks she is done to always go above and beyond. And… she always does. This is why she is one of my memorable students.

  3. Great quotes! Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday… 🙂

  4. Princess N is growing right before my eyes. And keyboard.

    I’m with Dan Rather.

    Can’t wait to see your garden!
    Have a good one.

  5. These are great quotes. Lee Iaccoca is the man, although I have to say, he had things pretty good. He graduated from the same college as I and I am sure that gave him a leg up.

  6. Fabulous quotes Stacy! My favourite is: “”Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.” Dan Rather
    Happy Sunday!

  7. This quote is perfection!
