By George Matthew Adams (1913)Habit is a fixed series of acts. Do a thing once and Tracks are marked. Do a thing twice and a Route is mapped. Do a thing thrice and a Path is blazed. Do the Right thing over and over again. From the unconscious wink of the eye to the smooth, unnoticed movements of a million worlds, the law of Habit relentlessly rules its course. All life is but a set

By George Matthew Adams (1913)Stir up your Salt. For Salt — translated into terms of moral use — is the stuff that seasons and balances one’s work — keeps it from swaying into mediocrity, commonness and nothingness — it’s Grit, Courage, Back-bone, refined to the crystal degree.

By George Matthew Adams (1913)In life you are either on the Side Lines or else in the Game. If you are on the Side Lines you are merely watching. You are inactive.
