Inspirational quotes¶

• “I think Grit is the virtue of tenacity and discipline combined with determination. Grit/willpower/tenacity/determination may be synonymous. What they get ya: The tendency to continue, when either flights of fancy or boredom or adversity or failure get in the way. Seeing things through to their end is a great virtue in practicing until one is over the novice hump.” ―B.H.
