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
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
(Leonard Cohen)
What you saw as falling apart was actually things falling into place…

I really like these quotes! Thank you for sharing and maybe i will have too steal them sometime.
I nabbed that quote off your blog last week and put it where I could see it daily for awhile. I'm glad you didn't squelch the desire to share more. Nothing like a good quote and you're full of them.
I am excessively fond of great quotes and am always interested in reading the ones that speak to people I care about.
I am very fond of great quotes as well. The second and third ones spoke particularly to me.
'that's how the light gets in.'
I liked that one!
I love good quotes that inspire and up lift you. These are some good ones.
