Some Wonderful Quotes for You to Inspire Perseverance

An illuminating gift for aspiring writers

Can you imagine anyone saying to a toddler learning to walk: “Look, you’re just no good at this kid, why not quit already.”

Sometimes the world says “give up” too, but don't listen because hope is whispering in your ear … “Just one more try.”

Hope ignites perseverance, a key nutrient to build resilience.

If people just gave up on the things that seemed impossible, the world would be a much different place. Think about it — think of all the amazing things that men and women have accomplished.

“Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.”

— Josh Billings

Everyone climbs a staircase the same way, one step at a time. You don’t need to see the landing, you just need to know that it’s there and put one foot in front of the other.

“We will either find a way or make one.”

— Hannibal

You were born with a natural instinct to persevere, we all were. Our only limitations are those we impose on ourselves.

Limitations are therefore nothing but a choice.

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you … never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

— Harriet Beecher Stowe

If you want to know what perseverance is, look to nature, check out the weeds coming up through the cracks of a road or sidewalk.

Nature never quits!

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

— Thomas Edison

The best players in the world miss the target most of the time. It’s because of perseverance that they ever score at all.

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

— Michael Jordan

Think of today as your last on earth. If you apply at least the same effort to your goals that you would if today was your last, just imagine what you could achieve in a week, a month, or a year.

“Look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.

Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”

— Jacob A. Riis

Final Thoughts

To conclude allow me to paraphrase an unknown quote that I recall reading years ago, it goes something like this:

We never trip over the mountains we encounter, it’s the small pebbles that make us stumble. Step over each pebble on your journey and soon you’ll realize that you’ve crossed a mountain.

Hope you enjoyed this article folks, but there is one last thing, a video:

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”

— Winston Churchill
