My Favorite Quotes on Perseverance

I am often told that I am a persistent person and never give up. It seems to me that perseverance is somewhat similar to courage in the sense that one can be courageous while being terrified. If someone is persistent, this does not mean that they don't want to give up and leave everything to hell.

I use many techniques that help me to get up and move on every time I want to stop. Sometimes even a little reminder like a favorite quote is enough. I decided to collect them all in one place and sometimes re-read them. Hopefully, they will be useful to you too.
