My thoughts on these quotes

Are you used to persevering in life or are you among those who give up halfway? These quotes are very eloquent, success is achieved through perseverance. I have gathered some famous authors from different worlds and their sayings about perseverance.
I like Walter Elliot’s quote about perseverance, which is not one race, but several small races. More small achieved goals lead to a bigger realized goal. And a quote from Victor Hugo – perseverance is the secret of all victories. Those who persevere reach the goal. Those who despair halfway through will never know what kind of victory they could achieve. Just like the Sunday quote says – with the perseverance of people, they succeed in things that seem unattainable.
