Are we there yet?

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.
A man is not finished when he's defeated.
He's finished when he quits.
Richard M. Nixon

All endeavor calls for the ability to
tramp the last mile,
shape the last plan,
endure the last hours toil.
The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic
we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.
Henry David Thoreau

When you have a great and difficult task,
something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work
a little at a time,
every day a little,
suddenly the work will finish itself.
Isak Dinesen
