For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

it takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to believe in the goodness of people.

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

Life is short. Time is fast. No replay, no rewind. Enjoy every moment as it comes.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it.

Time makes more converts than reason.

History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we made today.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

The thought of only being a creature of the present and the past was troubling. I longed for a future, too, with hope in it. The desire to be free, awakened my determination to act, to think, and to speak.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.
