persistence

Education will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

truth

I think well of all skepticism to which I may reply Let us try it. But I no longer want to hear anything of all those things and questions which do not permit experiments. This is the limit of my sense of truth for there courage has lost its rights.
