6) “The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson {I blogged about this thought here.}

7) “The future comes one day at a time.” -Dean Acheson

8) “If you wait to do everything until you are sure it is right, you will probably not do much of anything.” -Win Borden
