A favorite quote of one of my mentors:
Persistence
Nothing in the 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.
~ Calvin Coolidge
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
~ Auguste Rodin
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
~ Albert Einstein
The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs…one step at a time.
~ Joe Girard
Creativeness often consists of merely turning up what is already there.
~ Bernice Fitz-Gibbon
