Nearly 2,700 years after it was written, this timeless passage from the ancient Greek poet Hesiod continues to resonate with people striving to achieve personal and professional goals. Rather than promising quick success, the quote reminds readers that meaningful accomplishments require perseverance, discipline and sustained effort.
Quote of the Day: "But between us and Goodness [Virtue] the gods have placed the sweat of our brows; long and steep is the path that leads to her, and it is rough at the first; but when a man has reached the top, then is she easy to reach, though before that she was hard." — Hesiod, Works and Days
