"That must be a pretty poor reference book to have in one's library, then," said Helen, making fun of the old saying which the lame girl had repeated. "How do we know perhaps there are other important words left out A bas le Lexicon of Youth!" "Perseverence is the winning game, Nettie," Ruth said to the Southern girl, cheerfully. "Stick to it."
Our perseverence was at last rewarded; for several rods farther on, we emerged upon a little level grassy nook among the brushwood, and by an extraordinary dispensation of fortune, the weeds and floating sticks, which elsewhere covered the pool, seemed to have drawn apart, and left a few yards of clear water just in front of this favored spot.
I had great difficulty in procuring a room, but persisted in my inquiries until I succeeded. The traveler will learn quicker than any other person that perseverence is the only road to success.

And so with Solomon.
He did not give it him out of love, but only to be rid of him. The Master meant that with perseverence much might be attained by prayer." The man was irritated by the disciple's explanation, and said; "What! One time He says, Pray shortly, using few words; and at another time, You must not leave off praying until you are heard." But James replied: "Friend, you misunderstand me again.
The Chickahominy falls into the James not many miles above the site of Jamestown. It flows through a very fertile region, and upon its banks were native settlements well supplied with the stores of savage labor. Up this stream Smith urged his boat with great perseverence, cutting through trunks of trees and matted underwood which opposed his progress.
"Heaven fights on the side of the strongest battalions," is a military aphorism, and Nature ranges herself on the side of the individual who co-operates with her most faithfully, who, in the struggle for the regaining of health, brings the greatest amount of determination and perseverence to the encounter.
