"Once I get on a puzzle, I can't get off. If my mother's friend had said, 'Never mind, it's too much work,' I'd have blown my top, because I want to beat this damn thing, as long as I've gone this far.

Napoleon Hill
"Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised."
Ann Landers
"Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path."
Tommy Lasorda
"Habits are infinitely more beneficial to the aspiring student than motivation. Motivation may get you started, but habits keep you going."
