I'm doing college scholarship essays and I need quotes about working hard, problem solving, or anything else that would look good on an essay! Thanks!

These are some of my favorites on hard work and problem solving:

~Dr Samuel Johnson

~General Colin L. Powell

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.
~Thomas J. Watson

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.
~Rene Decartes

An undefined problem has an infinite number of solutions.
~Robert A. Humphrey
