- “The power to hold on wrote Orison Marden is characteristic of all men who have accomplished anything great; they may lack in some other particular way, have many weaknesses or eccentricities, but the quality of persistence is never absent from a successful man. No matter what opposition he meets or what discouragement overtakes him, drudgery cannot disgust him, obstacles cannot discourage him, labor cannot weary him; misfortune, sorrow, and reverses cannot harm him. It is not so much brilliancy of intellect, or fertility of resource, as persistence of effort, constancy of purpose, that makes a great man. Those who succeed in life are the men and women who keep everlastingly at it, who do not believe themselves geniuses, but who know that if they ever accomplish anything, they must do it by determined and persistent industry."

- “The greatest battle in life, said Ralph Waldo Emerson, is the fight to be yourself in the world that is constantly molding you into something else. The vision you have written down is the blueprint of your true potential but the world won’t allow you to have it at a platter of gold. It requires a lion’s heart and the fighting spirit of an army general to win the battle. The man without an iron will, says Orison Marden, is the plaything of chance, the puppet of his environment, the slave of circumstances. It you would succeed up to the limit of your possibilities, you must constantly hold to the belief that you have been equipped for success by God, and that you will be successful no matter what opposes your progress.”

Emerson
- "There is something sublime in the youth who possess the spirit of boldness and fearlessness, who has proper confidence in his ability to do and dare. The world takes us at our own valuation. It believes in the man who believes in himself; who cannot rely on his own judgment, who craves advice from others, and is afraid to go ahead on his own account.”
