The ancients tell us what is best; but we must learn of the moderns what is fittest.

If better is possible, good is not enough

Getting it done is my reward.

If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be, as Poor Richard says, “the greatest prodigality'; since, as he elsewhere tells us, 'Lost time is never found again'; and 'What we call time enough always proves little enough'. Let us then up and be doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity.

Get what you can, and what you get hold; 'tis the Stone that will turn all your Lead into Gold.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That He ought to be worshipped.

To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast in the very lap of fortune.
