Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wide choice of many alternatives.

Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.

You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.

Our life does not develop as a result of chance, but as a result of causes.

Impossible is just an opinion.

Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or good or joy worth having.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

There is a force that somehow pushes us to choose the more difficult path whereby we can transcend the mire and muck into which we are so often born. Despite all that resists the process, we do become better human beings.

There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the door.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.

Never be bored, and you will never be boring.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

The world is a mountain, in which your words are echoed back to you.

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

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

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 you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.

You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today.

There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.

Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
