Pray as if everything depended on God and work as if
everything depended on us.
- St. Philip Neri.
Proverbs teaches that one cannot be successful who
is not also disciplined in mind and body.
- Dr. Jerry White.
Study as if you were to live for ever; live as if you
were to die tomorrow.
- St Edmund of Abingdon.
..wake up and get going, because (you) will have one
less (day) in which to do things - and there are ten million things waiting
to be done.

..we have to justify ourselves each day of our
lives.
It is silence - when your words
would hurt.
It is patience - when your neighbour is curt.
It is deafness - when a scandal flows.
It is thoughtfulness - for others' woes.
It is promptness - when duty calls.
It is courage - when misfortune falls.
- Anon.
When work is a pleasure, life is joy. ... When work is a duty, life is slavery.
