“...the only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you'll finish it,....”

“If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten!”

“You get your freedom by letting your enemy know that you'll do anything to get it. Then you'll get it. It's the only way you'll get it.”

“The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit of doing them”

“‎A farm is a manipulative creature. There is no such thing as finished. Work comes in a stream and has no end. There are only the things that must be done now and things that can be done later. The threat the farm has got on you, the one that keeps you running from can until can't, is this: do it now, or some living thing will wilt or suffer or die. Its blackmail, really.”

“It may not maek sense to you, now, but when you get older you'll udnerstnad that some times things have t o be done. Hard things. But everyone will hate the person who finally does them. But if they do them anyway, that's the mark of true honor. -Silver”
