If you prepare yourself at every point as well as you can, with whatever means you may have, however meager they may seem, you will be able to grasp opportunity for broader experience when it appears. Without preparation you cannot do it.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, preface, Autobiography
Spectacular achievements come from unspectacular preparation.
Why not seize pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!
The best match in the world will not light a candle unless the wick be first suitably prepared.
ALGERNON BLACKWOOD, "The Man Who Found Out"
