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 (1932) Broadside distributed to Employees of the New York Life Insurance Company when Coolidge was on the Board
