One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks.

When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

If you expect nothing, you're apt to be surprised. You'll get it.

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.
