Words are a lens to focus one's mind.

Keep your mind off the things you don’t want by keeping it on the things you do want.

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.

Half-finished work generally proves to be labor lost.

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
