Great Perseverance Quotes

What I love about the East End is that there's a great perseverance, determination and courage. What I dislike about it is that there is sometimes a celebration of ignorance. Eddie Marsan

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quote: "Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock..."
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Samuel Johnson quote: "Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance."
Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. Samuel Johnson
It was a harder day's journey than yesterday's, for there were long and weary hills to climb; and in journeys, as in life, it is a great deal easier to go down hill than up. However, they kept on, with unabated perseverance, and the hill has not yet lifted its face to heaven that perseverance will not gain the summit of at last. Charles Dickens
There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few priveledged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Samuel Johnson quote: "Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works..."
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. Samuel Johnson
The wise and the good never form the majority of any large society and it seldom happens that their measures are uniformly adopted.... [All that wise and good men can do is] to persevere in doing their duty to their country and leave the consequences to him who made men only; neither elated by success, however great, nor discouraged by disappointments however frequent or mortifying. John Jay
The doctrines of original sin, election, and effectual calling, final perseverance, and all those great truths which are called Calvinism? though Calvin was not the author of them, but simply an able writer and preacher upon the subject? are, I believe, the essential doctrines of the gospel that is in Jesus Christ. Now, I do not ask you whether you believe all this? it is possible you may not; but I believe you will before you enter heaven. Charles Spurgeon
There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. Such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. Great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. Real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it. Robert Henri
Muriel Spark quote: "Final perseverance is the doctrine that wins the eternal..."
Final perseverance is the doctrine that wins the eternal victory in small things as in great Muriel Spark
I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends and mount to lofty eminence. -St. John Rivers Charlotte Bronte
Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs. Euripides
... we are in this boot camp to learn, that if we don't persevere through all this world's obstacles and all its wounds, we won't earn our next life of great adventure. Dean Koontz
What did Nabokov and Joyce have in common, apart from the poor teeth and the great prose? Exile, and decades of near pauperism. A compulsive tendency to overtip. An uxoriousness that their wives deservedly inspired. More than that, they both lived their lives 'beautifully'--not in any Jamesian sense (where, besides, ferocious solvency would have been a prerequisite), but in the droll fortitude of their perseverance. They got the work done, with style. Martin Amis
