“Nothing in this 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. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
― Calvin Coolidge

“There are two ways of living open to man. One is Satan's way: through experience of evil man gains by contrast a concept of good.

Every man and woman in the world is following one or the other of these two courses in the development of his individuality.”
― Charles Fillmore, Mysteries of Genesis

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”
