Cervantes
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

has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

noble adventure. But I would like to remind you of an important point. Nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies
will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life, save only this, that if you work hard and intelligently you should
be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education.
John Alexander Smith
