Quotes
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The little that is completed, vanishes from the sight of one who looks forward to what is still to do."
Earl Nightingale
"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."
