THOUGHTS TO SELL BY EDITED BY LAWRENCE J. TUTTLE • PHOTO BY GERHARD GSCHWANDTNER


PERSISTENCE Industry, perseverance, and frugal-


ity make Fortune yield. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN


Failure is only postponed success as long as courage “coaches” ambition. The habit of persistence


is the habit of victory. HERBERT KAUFMAN


Success is not the absence of failure; it’s the persistence through failure.


AISHA TYLER Persistence is a secret weapon for


everyone. LIU WEN


The big talent is persistence. OCTAVIA E. BUTLER


My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.


ZOSIA MAMET

I can only control my own perfor- mance. If I do my best, then I can


feel good at the end of the day. MICHAEL PHELPS


I really want people to under- stand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond


our control. LIL’ KIM


CONTROL


You can control two things: your work ethic and your attitude


about anything. ALI KRIEGER


All I can control is myself and just keep having a positive attitude. ROSE NAMAJUNAS


You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can


decide not to be reduced by them. MAYA ANGELOU


GOODNESS


The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person


spreads in all directions. CHANAKYA


We are each made for goodness, love, and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.


DESMOND TUTU


The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. DALAI LAMA


Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in


goodness. ATHENAEUS


I always tell young girls, “Surround yourself with goodness.” I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.
