Diligence

For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice

Restless work conquers everything.

Nothing will come of nothing

Many hands make light work

Diligence is the mother of good fortune

Success is dependent on effort

Willpower is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work

I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line

It is better to plan less and do more

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good

The human tendency to regard little things as important has produced very many great things

By perseverance the snail reached the ark

practice makes perfect
