“Make big decisions in the calm.” That’s what Dwight D. Eisenhower said. As you know, he was the nation’s 34th President.

Dr. Seuss said it this way:
“Try to remember,
through thick and through thin,
when you give it your best,
why that’s when you win.”

Colonel Von Steuben said it this way to General Washington:
“To an American I am obliged to say, this is the reason why you ought to do that, and then he does it.”

Dorothea Brandt, a writer, put it this way:
“The key to success is to determine your goal and then act as if it were impossible to fail—and it shall be!”

Pat Riley, the successful basketball coach was heard to announce:
“Look at your clothes, pick the best one, then go to work with all your heart.”

I think they are all good suggestions and principles to live by.
