LINDA GERACI

It’s hard to wring my hands when I’m busy rolling up my sleeves.

JOHN SCHNATTER

ARISTOTLE

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

AUDREY HEPBURN

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you'll discover that you have two hands - one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.

MAYA ANGELOU

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

FRANCIS BACON

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.
