Segal, Ronald

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

41.

Zedong, Mao

Mckain, Robert J.
