Don't Procrastinate Your Problems

“All problems become smaller if you don’t dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumple."

--Williams S. Halsey

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

Make Use of Your Opportunities

“Four things come not back—the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.”

–Arabian Proverb

The Knack of Common Sense

“Common Sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.”

--Stowe

Be a Doer!

“The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There’s far less competition."

–Dwight Morrow

Do Not Criticize the Good Work of Someone Else

“He whose first emotion, on the view of an excellent work, is to undervalue or depreciate it, will never have one of his own to show.”

--Aikin

Mistakes can Make you Wise

“When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.”

–Hugh White
