Watching this astounding film clip made me remember some of my favorite quotes on perseverance and determination.
I hope that reading the words of wisdom I’ve posted below…and watching this heroic act which was caught unexpectedly on film by a camera crew making a nature show….will give you the strength that you need for whatever trials or struggles you might be going through.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
– Calvin Coolidge
“When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”
– Unknown
“Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” – Unknown
“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Never give in – Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” – Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister (spoken in the early dark days of WWII on October 29, 1941)
“The best way out is always through.” – Robert Frost
