"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
GENOUS will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
EDUCATION will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
PERSISTENCE and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

But we do know what Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy ans strong.
