Well begun is half done
Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly
It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed
What's done can't be undone
It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.
A Psalm of Life
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
