The truest statement ever made...

Nothing in this 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.

- Calvin Coolidge
 
“First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Bloodchild and Other Stories
 
While not a quote, I will quote my favorite Proverb.

Proverbs 18:2
Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.
 
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

George Santayana
