|  Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe. | | A promise made is a debt unpaid. | | It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race. | | Be sure your wisest words are those you do not say. | | Avoid extremes: be moderate In saving and in spending; An equable and easy gait Will win an easy ending. | | I have some friends, some honest friends, and honest friends are few; My pipe of briar, my open fire, A book that's not too new. | | No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is. | | His life, though none too long, Was never dull: Of woman, wine and song Bill had his full. |
