My favorite quote in the world has to be this one (which I’ve already posted here once):

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 alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
– Calvin Coolidge

I thought of this again because some recent quotes from Renee speak to the same issue.

It takes as much stress to be a success as it does to be a failure.
– Emilio James Trujillo

The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.
– Anonymous

I think of my compulsive overeating as a predominantly physiological problem that’s exacerbated by psychological stuff (oh, and of course, decades of dieting and misinformation), and I’ve been looking for a way out for a long time.

Quotes like these are inspirational to me. I hope you like ‘em too. Thanks Renee!
