VETERANS DAY is, arguably, the most essential, critical and gracious way to celebrate AMERICAN DEVOTION. For it is that day, every year, when we give thanks to and for those brave souls who have served, fought or died to preserve America, unequivocally the greatest country on the face of the earth. So thank you—Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and Police Force for all you’ve done and will continue to do! Without you there would be no America.
Perfect practice, perfect makes.
Simple practice makes a habit.
If it’s perfection we desire,
then we must make Perfection habit.
Simple habits, habits make.
The outcome of our loves
becomes extraordinary in the law
that perfect is as perfect does.
When we spend time in forming
those things we want in ‘grooves’,
then we must practice perfectly
for perfect is as perfect moves.
We can’t expect perfection
from results our effort takes,
if we don’t practice perfectly,
for perfect is as perfect makes.
To not get drained and tired,
and not be madly dumb,
in all things great and small
we must Maximum the Minimum.
There can be economy only where there is efficiency.
The highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage.
There are only two qualities in the world: efficiency and inefficiency, and only two sorts of people: the efficient and the inefficient.
In the journey of accomplishment
the wise this adage heed —
fast or slow is not of note,
of note is Perfect Speed.
Impatience is wanting something to happen before the due time.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
You win battles by knowing the enemy’s timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect.
Diamonds are made under extreme heat and pressure
over an extended period of time, not
by a mere and casual blowing
of an intermittent wind.
We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars.
In quest to master any art
and avoid unkind disaster,
it would be wise to recognize
Control Is The Mark Of A Master.
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
