Press On!

Right now I am knee deep in midterms, with three tests and two papers due this week. However, while looking though my Media Management book: Media Management in the Age of Giants, by Dennis F. Herrick, I came across a quote I'd like to share.

"Nothing in the 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 will always solve the problems of the human race."
-President Calvin Coolidge.

If that's too heavy for ya, then try this:
"Never Give Up, Never Surrender!"
-Galaxy Quest

I'm not usually a big fan of inspirational quotes and all that, but with the load I've got this week, it's always nice to read that others before you, and especially others in considerable positions of power, have faced the same things and persevered just fine.

Too bad Coolidge was a Phi Delt

At least we've got Grover Cleveland
"It is better to be defeated standing for a high principle than to run by committing subterfuge. "

-Lates
