When times are down, keep believing, keep working hard, and things will pick up.

What we reliably find is that people's perseverance scores are actually higher than their passion scores, and I think it really does get to the fact that working hard is hard, but maybe finding your passion is even more difficult.

I don't believe our works save us, but I believe they follow us into heaven and bring glory to God.

Love works not for profit nor reward; yet God has ordained that great gain shall be the certain result of every labor of love.

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.

I want the world to be better because I was here.

No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

Often times we feel like either we can't make a world of difference, or we feel that it's not going to change anything anyway. The truth is you can change someone's day, you can change someone's life, but you have to show up and do what you got to do to actually see any fruit coming from it.

Morse conquered his electrical difficulties although he was only a painter, and I don't intend to give in either till all is completed.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

The biggest challenge of my career has always been to improve my timing, and it will always be so.
