You can change the world

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

Margaret Mead (1902-1978); cultural anthropologist

Excellence is a Habit

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

—Aristotle (384-322); philosopher

Practice Good Habits

“When we have practiced good actions awhile, they become easy; when they are easy, we take pleasure in them; when they please us, we do them frequently; and then, by frequency of act, they grow into habit.”

–Tillotson

Make Good Habits

“We’re worn into grooves by Time—by our habits. In the end, these grooves are going to show whether we’ve been second rate or champions, each in his way is dispatching the affairs of every day. By choosing our habits, we determine the grooves into which Time will wear us; and these are the grooves that enrich our lives and make for ease of mind, peace, happiness—achievement.”

–Frank B. Gilberth
