Seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought
Start into instant action, and at once
Plans and performs, resolves and executes!

And half our misery from our foibles springs.
- In men this blunder still you find,—
All think their little set mankind.
- Small habits well pursued betimes
May reach the dignity of crimes.

- Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
