Prior Proper Planning

Famous quotes containing the words prior, proper and/or planning:

    And ‘tis remarkable that they
    Talk most who have the least to say.
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    Anyone, however, who has had dealings with dates knows that they are worse than elusive, they are perverse. Events do not happen at the right time, nor in their proper sequence. That sense of harmony with place and season which is so stong in the historian—if he be a readable historian—is lamentably lacking in history, which takes no pains to verify his most convincing statements.
    Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)

    Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.
    James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
