“That the Devil finds work for idle hands to do is probably true. But there is a profound difference between leisure and idleness.”

“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.”

“Where people work longest and with least leisure, they buy the fewest goods. No towns were so poor as those of England where the people, from children up, worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day. They were poor because these overworked people soon wore out -- they became less and less valuable as workers. Therefore, they earned less and less and could buy less and less.”

“The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.”

“The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it.”

“One of the greatest discoveries a person makes, one of their great surprises, is to find they can do what they were afraid they couldn't do.”

“Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain”
