In between meetings yesterday I went to look at the David Bailey exhibition, curated by the man himself at the National Portrait Gallery (which was wonderful) and in one of the displays typed onto a piece of card was this quote:
"Nothing in the 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. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." Calvin Coolidge
