A good friend can tell you what is the matter in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.

Success comes before work only in the dictionary.

The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.

Every minute that you save by making it useful, more profitable, is so much added to your life and its possibilities. Every minute lost is a neglected by-product - once gone, you will never get it back.

Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.

Opportunity comes like a snail, and once it has passed you it changes into a fleet rabbit and is gone.

Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.
