In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
The first duty to children is to make them happy. If you have not made them so, you have wronged them. No other good they may get can make up for that.
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.
