"The Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945) said: 'Patience and perseverance are of prime importance in any endeavour. Don't give up if you fail once or twice. Be persistent and tenacious, trying again and again, employing all your ingenuity. The sages of old tell us that genius lies in perseverance.'"*

The New Human Revolution—Vol.30, Launching Out 30, translation released Nov. 2019
