If you give in today, you will be twice as likely to give in tomorrow.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

“Vices are simply overworked virtues, anyway. Economy and frugality are to be commended but follow them on in an increasing ratio and what do we find at the other end? A miser! If we overdo the using of spare moments we may find an invalid at the end, while perhaps if we allowed ourselves more idle time we would conserve our nervous strength and health to more than the value the work we could accomplish by emulating at all times the little busy bee.”

-- Laura Ingalls Wilder

William Shakespeare

“A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.”

--William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

“We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.”

If you were busy being kind,

Before you knew it, you would find

You’d soon forget to think ‘twas true

That someone was unkind to you.

If you were busy being glad

And cheering people who were sad,

Although your heart might ache a bit

You’d soon forget to notice it.

If you were busy being true

To what you know you ought to do,

You’d be so busy you’d forget

The blunders of the folks you’ve met.

All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.
