Here are some quotes that will help shed some light on each trait:
INTEGRITY:

- "WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD IS SILENT, EVEN ONE VOICE BECOMES POWERFUL." Malala Yousafzai
- "INTEGRITY IS WHAT WE DO, WHAT WE SAY, AND WHAT WE SAY WE DO." Don Galer
- "INTEGRITY IS TELLING MYSELF THE TRUTH. AND HONESTY IS TELLING THE TRUTH TO OTHER PEOPLE." Spencer Johnson
- "INTEGRITY IS CHOOSING COURAGE OVER COMFORT; CHOOSING WHAT IS RIGHT OVER WHAT IS FUN, FAST, OR EASY; AND CHOOSING TO PRACTICE OUR VALUES RATHER THAN SIMPLY PROFESSING THEM."Brené Brown
PERSEVERANCE: - "IT IS HARD TO FAIL, BUT IT IS WORSE NEVER TO HAVE TRIED TO SUCCEED". Theodore Roosevelt
- "PERSEVERANCE IS FAILING 19 TIMES AND SUCCEEDING THE 20TH." Julie Andrews
- "IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL IT’S DONE." Nelson Mandela
- "EVERY STRIKE BRINGS ME CLOSER TO THE NEXT HOME RUN." Babe Ruth
