A small leak can sink a great ship – Benjamin Franklin

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. – Benjamin Franklin
It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man. – Benjamin Franklin
It can be helpful simply to make a written or mental list of the things you do each day. Then give yourself a mental credit for each of them, however small. This will help you focus on what you have done instead of what you havent gotten around to do. It may sound simplistic, but it works. – David D. Burns
What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution. – Henri Frederic Amiel
