“He may believe that he can skimp his intellectual labour without wearing his moral natuere thin or that he can break the laws of his moral nature without breaking his intellectual integrity. He may think that he can play fast and loose with his will without weakening his conscience or without impairing the truthfulness of his intellectual processes... For man is a unit. Weakness in one part becomes weakness in every part”

“To save time, take time in large pieces. Do not cut up time into bits. Adopt the principle of continuous work. The mind is a locomotive. It requires time for getting under headway. Under headway, it makes its own steam. Progress gives force as force makes progress. Do not slow down as long as you run well and without undue waste. Take advantage of momentum. Prolonged thinking leads to profound thinking. Steamers which have the longest route seek deepest waters.”
