~ Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ~
~ Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor. ~
~ Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it. ~
~ The world is filled with willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
~
~ Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
~
~ Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. ~
~ Persistence of action comes from persistence of vision. ~
~ The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. ~
~ An optimist is a person who takes action, who moves out ahead of the crowd. ~
~ We cannot think first and act afterward. From the moment of birth we are immersed in action, and can only fitfully guide it by taking thought. ~
~ How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. ~
~ Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts. ~
~ Big words seldom accompany good deeds. ~
~ When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers. ~
~ There are two kinds of people who never amount too much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else.
