Efficient wisdom

Some really powerful quotes that I have run across in the past week:

In honor of hope:

"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
~St. Francis of Assisi

In honor of procrastination:

"The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place, we are entering a period of consequences."
~Winston Churchill

In honor of politics:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
~Upton Sinclair

In honor of singlehood: (Background story: my brother, for years, has insisted that he can't wait until I get married because he wants to pull "the biggest prank EVER" on me on my wedding day)

"You go make my dream come true."
~My brother
