Another quote about Success

A purpose is the eternal condition of success. Nothing will take its place. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men of talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb... Education will not; the country is full of unsuccessful educated men... There is no road to success but through a clear, strong purpose.
