Persistence
Persistence is the first condition of all fruitfulness in the ways of humanity.
Persistence in change.
Truth is a stronghold, and persistence is laying siege to it; so that it must observe all the avenues and passes to it.
What we hope ever to do with ease we may learn first to do with diligence.
Persistence is the mother of good fortune.
Persistence is of no use where luck is wanting.
Few things are impossible to persistence and skill.
Genius is nothing but labor and persistence.
The opinions of men are as many and as different as their persons; the greatest persistence and most practical conduct can never please them all.

Hunger is the best sauce.
The hard work of life alone teaches us to value the good things of life.
He that works hard and perseveres spins gold.

Every great mind seeks to work hard for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages; great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
Nothing falls into the mouth of a sleeping lion.
Everything is sweetened by hard work.

 “Be prepared to sacrifice, and work harder than you’ve ever thought possible. Be prepared to work around the clock, to be laughed at, called a dreamer, and to be told several times that your ideas will not work.”

  — Nkemdilim Begho, Future Software Resources Limited, Nigeria



“Business is always a struggle. There are always obstacles and competitors. There is never an open road, except the wide road that leads to failure. Every great success has always been achieved by fight, every winner has scars. The men who succeed are the efficient few –they are the few who have the ambition and will-power to develop themselves. So choose to be among the few today.” 
– Chris Kirubi, Centum Investment, Kenya



“I am guided each day by these three questions: ‘What are you fixing?’ ‘What are you making?’ and ‘Who are you helping? 

— Juliana Rotich, Ushahidi, Kenya



“Everything is possible. Impossible just takes a little longer.” 
— Wendy Ackerman, Pick n Pay South Africa
