“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”
Oscar Wilde
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
Mark Twain
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
“We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
“You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say.”
A. A. Milne
