That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.

My advice is, never do to-morrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him!

Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him.

No task is a long one but the task on which one dare not start. It becomes a nightmare.

Idealism springs from deep feelings, but feelings are nothing without the formulated idea that keeps them whole.

You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work. Before you can dig mother earth you've got to take off your ideal jacket. The harder a man works, at brute labor, the thinner becomes his idealism, the darker his mind.
