Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing. | |
― Thomas Jefferson | |
[A rocking horse provides a lot of activity and can be a lot of fun, but riding it never gets you anywhere different from where you were when you first got in the saddle. — kmab] | |

The Path To Reward

Effort is its own reward. | |
We are here to do. | |
And through doing to learn; | |
And through learning to know; | |
And through knowing to attain wonder; | |
And through wonder to attain wisdom; | |
And through wisdom to find simplicity; | |
And through simplicity to give attention; | |
And through attention to see what needs to be done. | |
