Quotations (Old Page)

per se

I am not the most eloquent of persons but there are those throughout history that are. Here are some of my favourites:

MOTIVATION

 – Unknown Possibly my favourite quote of all. As a natural procrastinator, I know I just need to take that first step into action and usually it snowballs from there.

– Win Borden Take action! Now!

– Confucius You learn by doing. The more analysis experience I can get, the better I will learn.
