“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Anonymous

From: “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:

August 5

'The lady bearer of this says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at it if possible. Wanting to work is so rare a want that it should be encouraged.'

- Abraham Lincoln

'People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them.'

- George Bernard Shaw
