Quotations of G. K. Chesterton
“Nothing in this world can take
the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common
than unsuccessful people 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
