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



. . . and OHO perseveres in its quest for perfection in performance of
Slough of Despond
written by John P. Graboski and David Reeve
(OHO rehearsal recording-
Jay Graboski, David Reeve and Ray Jozwiak are OHO)

Do note the sound of Jay's 'new El Capistan delay pedal basting the riffs w/ extra boss-ness'

Nothing Succeeds . . .

. . . like success

Formulate AND stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.  Hold this picture tenaciously.  Never permit it to fade.  Your mind will seek to develop the picture…
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
-Norman Vincent Peale


To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people
and affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best
in others; to leave the world a bit
better, whether by a healthy child
a garden patch or redeemed
social condition; to know even
one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is to have
succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
