[Quote No.15311] Need Area: Mind > Persist
" 'Where there is a will there is a way,' is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself." - Samuel Smiles

"It is ...the one pull more of the oar that proves the 'beefiness of the fellow,' as Oxford men say; it is the one march more that wins the campaign; the five minutes' more persistent courage that wins the fight. Though your force be less than another's, you equal and out-master your opponent if you continue it longer and concentrate it more." - Samuel Smiles

"[Focus on what want and distract from what don't want:-] For want of self restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control." - Samuel Smiles

[Quote No.16616] Need Area: Mind > Evolve
"It is a grand old name, that of gentleman, and has been recognized as a rank and power in all stages of society. To possess this character is a dignity of itself, commanding the instinctive homage of every generous mind, and those who will not bow to titular rank will yet do homage to the gentleman. His qualities depend not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities." - Samuel Smiles
