GAME WELL AND TRULY OVER

Persistence

"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 will not; the world is full of educated derelicts

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent"

Ray Kroc, founder and former Chairman, McDonald's. As told by Marc H. McCormack in "What they don't teach you at Harvard Business School"

Quote from Joseph O'Neill's "Netherland"

"Although it's not a secret that I lived for some time in the city in question, I'm not accorded any unusual authority. This isn't because I've been back for a while, but rather, because I'm precluded by nationality from commenting on any place other than Holland - one of those parochialisms, I am pissed off to rediscover that remind me that as a foreign person I'm essentially of some mildly buffoonish interest to the English and deprived, certainly, of the nativity New York encourages even its most fleeting visitor to imagine for himself."

Quote from Sam Selvon's "The Lonely Londoners"

"Things does have a way of fixing themselves, whether you worry or not. If you hustle, it will happen, if you don't hustle, it will still happen. Everybody living to dead, no matter what they doing while they living, in the end everybody dead."

Brilliant.
