Hi Don,

Sometimes certain moments deserve better words than the average person can deliver, so with thoughts of strength, courage, persistence and deliverance, I share this quote with you...Petra

"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 are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."

Calvin Coolidge
