The minute you shift to neutral when you’re trying to go up a hill, you start going backwards.

Only actions give to life its strength, as only moderation gives it its charm.

Actions speak louder than words, but not so often.

The draft that blows out a match makes a furnace burn better, and what prostrates a coward excites a brave man to action.

Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.

Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold – but so does a hard-boiled egg.

You can’t get dealt a straight flush unless you’re in the game.

Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

Intelligent actions are always moral actions. Moral actions are always intelligent actions.

Never mistake activity for progress.
