“It usually takes me two or three days to prepare an impromptu speech.”
“I recommend to you to take care of the minutes; for hours will take care of themselves. I am very sure, that many people lose two or three hours every day, by not taking care of the minutes.”
“Oh, Life, I am yours. Whatever it is you want of me, I am ready to give.”
“You give me thirty-two inches of folded steel and I'll take on anyone you want." -- Merit”
