FAVORITE QUOTE:

“Press on, 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 along will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination along or omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge
