All beginnings are somewhat strange; but we must have patience, and little by little, we shall find things, which at first were obscure, becoming clearer. ~ Vincent De Paul
A hard beginning makes a good ending. ~ John Heywood
Never lose an opportunity to use a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard seed germinates and roots itself. ~ Florence Nightingale
Finality is death. Perfection is finality. Nothing is perfect. There are lumps in it. ~ James Stephens, Crock of Gold
The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end. ~ Leon Trotsky
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. ~ Marie Beynon Ray
