Tact is the art of jumping into

troubled water without making a

big splash

A poor plan implemented is better than a

masterpiece ignored

Character is what you do when nobody

is looking

The wise woodsman knows to pause to

sharpen his ax

Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be silent if no birds

sang but the very best

The shortest route has the steepest

hills

Stepping stones and stumbling blocks are

made out of the same stuff

Luck is preparation meeting opportunity

Goals are dreams with deadlines

When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt

Only those who attempt the absurd

will achieve the impossible

It is easier to explain the price than to apologize for the

quality

A 10-minute demonstration is

more effective than an hour lecture

For every hour of presentation, put aside 10 hours of

preparation
