I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
Christopher Reeve

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
John Quincy Adams

If you wish success in life, make perseverance your close friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.
Joseph Addison

Victory belongs to the most persevering.[/COLOR]
Napoleon Bonaparte

Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.[/I]
Plutarch

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
Samuel Johnson

Hi Terry,

Here are some on PERSEVERANCE:

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things:STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE. STRENGTH is the lot of but but a few privileged men; but AUSTERE PERSEVERANCE, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.
-Johann von Goethe

PERSISTENCE IS THE MASTER VIRTUE. WITHOUT IT, THERE IS NO OTHER.
-Anonymous

Without perseverance talent is a barren bed.
Welsh Proverb
