His quotes • 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 • Istart where the last man left off. • Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
