Permanence, perseverance and persistence.....

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities.

It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

Was Tommy Carlisle correct?

Discuss or if you are feeling strong enough, discus..?

It's Carlyle, Tony. He also said: "A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things."

[Ted Max]

More Carlyle:

"I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance."

"I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil."

[Ted Max]

He would have hated the EDF.

Lol

[Santerme]

He also said 'History is the distillation of rumour'...

I am more inclined to Churchill's, 'when you are going through Hell, keep going'....

"SHUT THE F*CK UP FOR ONCE WILL YA'"
