If you work on something a little bit every day, you end up with something that is massive.

Work like there is someone working 24 hours a day to take it away from you.

It is always the start that requires the greatest effort.

Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.

No road is to long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

Stumbling is not falling

Be persistent and never give up hope.

To make our way, we must have firm resolve, persistence, tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up.

Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

If you look at space companies, they've failed either because they've had a technical solution where success was not a possible outcome, they were unable to attract a critical mass of talent, or they just ran out of money. The finish line is usually a lot further away than you think.

The earth is rocky and full of roots; it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.

The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what's best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you're banging your head against a brick wall all the time.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory but rather of embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence.

Focus on what lights a fire inside of you and use that passion to fill a white space. Don't be afraid of the challenges, the missteps, and the setbacks along the way. What matters is that you keep going.

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.

Nothing in this 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.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.

If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

Don't quit your day job.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

I never stopped reading.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read.

There’s a way to do it better. Find it.

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.
