If I had to select one quality
“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

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” (John) Calvin Coolidge
