Oh, that's just Beethoven decomposing. 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 omnimpotent. On Monday I went to school and learned absolutly nothing eccept for my Maths. Then I cought the bus home.
