Slight persistent effort can move you successfully forward in anything you do.

We have begun a fight that it may be will take many a generation to complete...but you know that men are not put into this world to go the path of ease; they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle...We have given our lives to the enterprise, and that is richer and the moral is greater.

It's an abrupt setback. But we're going to move forward.

Some guys look forward to their free agency years so they can go to a contender. To me, that's what I'm doing. I believe in what this team is doing.

Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.

Education will not (take the place of persistence); 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.
