  • "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 are omnipotent.
    The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the
    problems of the human race."
    - Calvin Coolidge, 1932, shortly after leaving the 30th Presidency,
    Our first "Radio President".
        Men that hazard all
    Do it in hope of fair advantages:
    A golden mind stoops not
    to shows of dross.

    Bill Shakespeare
    The Merchant of Venice, Act 2, Sc. 7
    "I shall never ceased to be amazed by the infinite capacity
    of the human mind to resist the penetration of useful knowledge."
    - S.J.Burgess, grandfather
        "It's what you do that counts."
    - Milton N. Burgess, father
    "Life's about logisitics.
    With the right support systems,
    you can do anything."
