Luck is just another word for tenacity of purpose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A combination of tenacity and luck brought me here today.

Judy Sheindlin

In the journey to success, tenacity of purpose is supreme.

Aliko Dangote

All excellence involves discipline and tenacity of purpose.

John W. Gardner

A lot of people that I started out with, I don't know where they are. I guess it takes tenacity to still be doing this, and luck, but I've been very blessed.

Dennis Quaid

I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Living your purpose will require a HUGE amount of faith, courage, tenacity and perseverance.

Mastin Kipp

God grant me to SERENITY to accept what I cannot change the TENACITY to change what I may and the GOOD LUCK not to f*** up too often

Stephen King

The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of a strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the truths of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent - for every effect a perfect cause - and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle: "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."

Eric Sevareid

And you very soon find out, if you have not found it out before, that patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Thomas Huxley

There are no wishy-washy astronauts. You don't get up there by being uncaring and blase. And whatever gave you the sense of tenacity and purpose to get that far in life is absolutely reaffirmed and deepened by the experience itself.

Chris Hadfield

Used to think that luck wuz luck and nuthin' else but luck-- It made no diff'rence how or when or where or why it struck; But sev'ral years ago I changt my mind, an' now proclaim That luck's a kind uv science--same as any other game.
