“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
“Persistence isn't very glamorous. If genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, then as a culture we tend to lionize the one percent. We love its flash and dazzle. But great power lies in the other ninety-nine percent.”
“The idea itself is the ten percent inspiration; the hammering it into a viable, successful, memorable story is the ninety percent perspiration that follows.”
“ There's a poster with Thomas Edison's quote: GENIUS IS 1 PERCENT INSPIRATION AND 99 PERCENT PERSPIRATION.”
“I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that I was dreaming.”
“Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.”
