The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.

It is what we do easily and what we like to do that we do well.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.

When you finish a thing you ought to be able to say to yourself: 'There, I am willing to stand for that piece of work. It is not pretty well done; it is done as well as I can do it; done to a complete finish. I will stand for that. I am willing to be judged by it.'

Every child should be taught to expect success

The first part of success is 'Get-to-it-iveness'; the second part of success is 'Stick-to-it-iveness'.

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do.
