In literature, “persevere” is deployed to evoke the steadfast continuation in the face of both moral and practical trials. In sacred texts and theological treatises such as those in the Bible [1, 2, 3] and by Saint Augustine [4, 5, 6], the word carries a weight of spiritual promise and divine reward, urging believers to remain constant until salvation is secured. At the same time, in narratives of personal and societal struggle—from the gentle urgings of Chekhov [7] to the indomitable spirit witnessed in accounts of national independence [8, 9]—the term underscores an enduring commitment that defies the hardships of life. This dual use bridges the gap between inner resolve and external endeavor, continually reminding readers of the virtue inherent in persistence.
