Born and raised in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in the year Harold Macmillan said ‘we never had it so good,’ that was certainly my take on things as a kid growing up in the 60s.

Ruth’s Quotes

Calvin Coolidge
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
