Quotable Friday    “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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.  The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge

Hotel Magnate and Philanthropist of the Year, Stewart Bainum, presented each of his children, while they were growing up, with this quote in a frame.

-From Bethesda Magazine
