LIFE LESSON IN QUOTES -RESOLUTE

Life is a struggle say some and Life is a journey say others. In either case one requires the unwavering, determined and focussed approach to it. Thus, resolute becomes the next in this series of life lesson in quotes.

Minisinoo distinguished defiance from being resolute in these words,

" Being defiant is a two year old 
who 
doesn't want to go to bed when he's tired. 
Being resolute is standing one's ground 
in the 
face of opposition. 
It's a man's virtue and not a toddler's vice"

Goethe proclaimed,

" He who is firm and resolute in will molds the world to himself"

Eugene S Wilson wrote,

" Only the curious will learn 
and 
only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning, 
The quest quotient has always excited me 
more than
 the intelligence quotient"

Do these words not remind us of the epochal Karna and Ekalavya of times immemorial from the Mahabharata scripted by Ved Vyasa?

Cicero said,

" It is the character of a brave and resolute person
 not to be
 ruffled by adversity, and not to desert their post"

Theodore Roosevelt said,

" It is only through labour and painful effort, 
by grim energy and resolute courage,
 that we move on to better things"

These could be summed up best in the words of iconic Napoleon Bonaparte which reads 

Napoleon Bonaparte - The truest wisdom is a resolute...

Thus, Resolute forms the chapter for R in the A to Z series on life lesson in quotes.
