Taking the first footstep with a good thought the second with a good word and the third with a good deed I entered Paradise

Turn yourself not away from three best things: Good Thought, Good Word, and Good Deed.

First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.

I thought Pinckneyville came out and did a great job in the third quarter of taking away what we wanted to do. We always talk about the first three minutes of the second half is the most important part of the game. I just think we didn't match their intensity. ... And, I think Matt (Buren) getting in foul trouble in the third quarter really hurt us.

We thought second or third, would be a great day [for Porter] and it turned out to be a pretty good one. The kid works hard.

Sometimes, you get things right the first time. Others, the second. But the third time, they say, is the charm.
