Jean Francois Paul de Gondi Quotes

Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.

Weak vacillating and tardy

I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Postponement: The father of failure.

A lobster, when left high and dry among the rock, does not have the sense enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters; people stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.

Indecisiveness wears a person out.

The greatest failure of all is the failure to act when action is needed

Later is always my first choice.
