May 24, 2013 (LA PORTE, Ind.) -- U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts told graduates of the northern Indiana Roman Catholic boarding school he graduated from 40 years ago that the key to success is persistence.
Roberts told the La Lumiere School graduating class on Friday that persistence was more important than intelligence, education and talent, because many people with those traits fail. He told them diligence can solve the problems they face.
Roberts says no better example of that is President Abraham Lincoln. He pointed out the nation's 16th president had numerous failures, including losing his only Supreme Court case, but he says Lincoln was determined not to fail.
Roberts told the school's 62 graduates that how they respond to life's challenges will determine what kind of life they'll lead.

Very interesting: It is a small boarding school, coed, Catholic, but all
laymen running it. It's almost hard to believe such a place still exists.
