"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

"Time cools, time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours. When you make a decision to "be" a particular way, you can count on change and external circumstances to come along which will challenge that decision. Remain vigilant after declaring a major decision and manage yourself in relationship to the goal. Set up structures that support you staying on target."
