Henry Ford on success

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Julius Caesar100–44 BCInscription on the triumphal wagon reported in The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius, as translated by Robert Graves (1957).

For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790Poor Richard’s Almanack

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
