Alexander Woollcott

“Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we could have if we didn’t spend half of our time wishing.”

Alexander Woollcott
1887 - 1943
Journalist, Humorist

All great things start as a thought.  As a dream.

But all great things will always remain a thought
If there is no “doing.”

You can achieve anything you can imagine.
But you must quickly learn to stop imagining
And put some effort behind it.

That’s where the satisfaction lies.

You will find more happiness and personal growth
On the trail to your accomplishment
Than you will ever find dreaming about it.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
