Booth Tarkington:An ideal wife is any woman who has an ideal husband.

Quotes on Persistance

No man with a man’s heart in him, gets far on his way without some bitter, soul searching disappointment. Happy he who is brave enough to push on another stage of the journey, and rest where there are living springs of water, and three score and ten palms.
– Brown

Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are “just right” before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don’t know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.
– The William Feather Magazine

If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, “Here comes number seventy-one!”
– Richard M. DeVos

Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.
– Mark Twain

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
– Newt Gingrich

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
– Horace

To bring one’s self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy.
– Thomas A. Buckner

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 will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
– Calvin Coolidge

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.
– Eric Hoffer

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
– Benjamin Franklin

Hidup adalah tantangan, hadapilah. Hidup adalah anugerah, terimalah. Hidup adalah petualangan, berjuanglah. Hidup adalah duka lara, tanggungilah. Hidup adalah tragedi, tuntaskanlah. Hidup adalah tugas, laksanakanlah. Hidup adalah cita-cita, capailah. Hidup adalah permainan, mainkanlah. Hidup adalah misteri, singkapkanlah. Hidup adalah lagu, nyanyikanlah. Hidup adalah kesempatan, ambillah. Hidup adalah perjalanan, jalanilah. Hidup adalah janji, penuhilah. Hidup adalah kasih sayang, bergembiralah. Hidup adalah keindahan, bersyukurlah. Hidup adalah perkelahian, bertarunglah. Hidup adalah jiwa, sadarilah. Hidup adalah teka-teki, pecahkanlah. (Rabindranath Tagore)

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” Neil Gaiman

“Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it’s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I’ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I’m lucky, he’ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.” Anonymous

“You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.” Julie de Lespinasse

“If I never met you, I wouldn’t like you. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t love you. If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.” Anonymous

“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.” Anonymous

“Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.” Robert F. Bennett
