Persist and resist...

Epictetus, Fragments, 10:
...there are two vices much blacker and more serious than the rest: lack of persistence and lack of self-control...two words should be committed to memory and obeyed by alternately exhorting and restraining ourselves, words that will ensure we lead a mainly blameless and untroubled life...persist and resist.
