Calvin Coolidge talks Success

The equation, which delivers the success formula everyone seeks, also carries several key factors for its completion. The most integral of these factors, as former president Calvin Coolidge declares, is the same one with which victors claim their hard-fought prize.

“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.”
