Two. . .

. . . from Churchill (and more)


"Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer."
 
"Never, never, never, never give up."
Winston Churchill

"Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."
Herodotus

"If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, Here comes number seventy-one!"
Richard M. DeVos

"Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance."
Samuel Johnson

"Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another."
Walter Elliott

Sam Snead won the Par 3 Tournament in 1974 when he was 61. 

Gandhi was 61 when he and his followers marched 240 miles in 24 days to make their own salt from the sea in defiance of British colonial laws and taxes.

Benjamin Franklin at age 70 played an instrumental role in drafting and signing the Declaration of Independence and at age 81 signed the Constitution of the United States of America.
