CIT: Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence

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 proverb. Education will not;the world is full of educated failures.Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
--Calvin Coolidge
