One should be ever booted and spurred and ready to depart. Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. ... The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

When a man's busy, leisure strikes him as a wonderful pleasure; and at leisure once is he? Straightway he wants to be busy. There isn't a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications of her own. Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the torture of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before. I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill. Christmas is over and Business is Business. Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
