going

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment we can start now start slowly changing the world!

Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.

To do anything in this world worth doing we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

In putting off what one has to do one runs the risk of never being able to do it.

The hour is ripe and yonder lies the way.

The keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion.

Optimism unaccompanied by personal effort is merely a state of mind and not fruitful.

Being unready and ill-equipped is what you have to expect in life. It is the universal predicament. It is your lot as a human being to lack what it takes. Circumstances are seldom right. You never have the capacities the strength the wisdom the virtue you ought to have. You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen.

Nothing at all will be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.

If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.

So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties it may be too late.

Do not wait for ideal circumstances nor the best opportunities they will never come.

You decide you'll wait for your pitch. Then as the ball starts toward the plate you think about your stance. And then you think about your swing. And then you realize that the ball that went past you for a strike was your pitch.

He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

Common sense does not ask an impossible chessboard but takes the one before it and plays the game.

The opportunity is often lost by deliberating.

Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.

We don't have enough time to premeditate all our actions.
