Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.

Ralph Marston

Success requires persistence, the ability to not give up in the face of failure. I believe that optimistic explanatory style is the key to persistence.

Martin Seligman

I have seen business moguls achieve their ultimate goals but still live in frustration, worry, and fear. What's preventing these successful people for being happy? The answer is they have focused only on achievement and not fulfillment. Extraordinary accomplishment does not guarantee extraordinary joy, happiness, love, and a sense of meaning. These two skill sets feed off each other, and make me believe that success without fulfillment is failure.

Tony Robbins

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

Aisha Tyler

Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. Moreover, experience with thousands of people has proved that lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of men. It is a weakness which may be overcome with effort.

Napoleon Hill

Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification, but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort, is necessarily shallow. Meaningful achievement takes time, hard work, persistence, patience, proper intent and self-awareness. The path to success is punctuated by failure, consolidation, and renewed effort.

Mark Twight

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.

Eric Hoffer

The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible. Exceptions only confirm this rule, proving that failure is occasioned by a too feeble faith.

Mary Baker Eddy

Persistence, persistence, and persistence. The Power can be created and maintained through daily practice - continuous effort.

Bruce Lee

There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.

Michelle Obama

Persistence, persistence, persistence. I'm surprised how few entrepreneurs follow up.

Mark Suster

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

Napoleon Hill

Failure is often the line of least persistence.

Zig Ziglar

Sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

Donald Trump

Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.

Colin Powell

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

Elbert Hubbard
