Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
Albert Einstein also had some nice ones:
"Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for insects as well as for the stars. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
"I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it."
"If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"
"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."
Thomas Jefferson' quotes:
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
"My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair."
Galileo Galilei:
"You cannot teach a man anything.; you can only help him to find it for himself."
Benjamin Franklin:
"A penny saved is a penny earned."
"Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship."
"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
"Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor."
