Hard work and perseverance quotes that cultivate resilience.

Perseverance is not something that can be infused from external sources — it has to be produced by you, for you. Perseverance is what you depend on when no external motivation is available.

Most of the things we venture to do require work. The most worthwhile things require significant work. When we tire, or if we become discouraged along the way, hard work and perseverance quotes get us back into the swing of using perseverance to keep going.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings.”

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.”

Inspirational quotes on perseverance: your personal pilot light.

The pilot light was once standard in old gas ovens. The small, continuously burning flame was used to turn the stove or oven on.

Perseverance is like your personal pilot light. It’s the constant flame you use to ignite hard work and effort on demand. The flame is always burning so you can feed it fuel for a big push when you need it.

Inspirational quotes on perseverance are the fuel to bring that pilot light to life, each one like the “flick” of a match. Choose your favorites and keep them where you can use them. Any inspirational quotes you share with others could be exactly the fuel they need at the right moment, too.

Tips to use perseverance quotes in unexpected places.

One of the most natural things to do with perseverance quotes is to share them inInstagram stories or other social media posts. They’re motivating, and everyone is always up against something that they need to push past.

Still, there are other opportunities to offer encouragement elsewhere with perseverance quotes. For example, think about:

Small acts can make big waves, even if you never see how they pan out.

Exercise: when perseverance gets too pushy.

Everyone needs help tapping into perseverance at some point. Not all perseverance quotes shared with all people at all times, however, are appropriate.

Perseverance isn’t necessarily the path everyone should take every time. There are occasions when we do have to quit, specifically when something becomes more harmful than it is beneficial.

Here's how to ensure your perseverance quotes are helpful and never out of place:

Reflect on context. Is the quote you want to use relevant to the recipient’s current challenges and emotional state?
Do an empathy check. Imagine receiving the quote yourself if you were in the same position. Could it feel dismissive of your struggle?
Provide space to change. Ensure that the quote allows for flexibility and doesn’t pressure someone to persist at all costs.
