Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
