“Go to bed before 8 p.m. Thieves generally break in between 12 and 2 a.m., so if you spend the evening in useless talk and go to bed late, you are likely to lose your valuables and your reputation as well. Save the firing and the light that will be wasted by staying up late and get up at four in the morning. Have a cold bath and say your prayers, and after you have dressed, give your orders for the day to your wife and children and retainers and so be ready to go on duty before 6 [a.m.]” IfsGivingWellsChildrenLightOrderLosesPrayerBreakMorningFourWifeAdviceReadyDutyGoes OnColdBedLateReputationGet UpEveningUselessStayingThievesBathsOur PrayersFiringRetainers Author:Hojo Soun
“As the day goes on you get more and more tired. Even if people say they're afternoon people or evening people, it's always best to start out first thing in the morning with your most important task as opposed to your email, phone calls, or checking the internet.

“It requires enormous presence of mind or rather quickness of wit, when opening your eyes to seize hold as it were of everything in the room at exactly the same place where you had let it go on the previous evening. That is why the moment of waking up was the riskiest moment of the day. Once that was well over without deflecting you from your orbit, you could take heart of grace for the rest of the day.” MindWellsHeartMomentsEyeRoomsGraceGoes OnWake UpWitEnormousOpeningEveningWakingLet It GoOrbitQuicknessPresence Of MindDeflectingOpening Your Eyes Book:The Metamorphosis Source: The Metamorphosis
“One of the things I've realized in my decades on this planet is that the world goes on no matter what, and if we are to survive with any amount of grace we all need little oases of tranquility and sanity in our lives. For me, an evening of wine in good company is just such a place.” IfsWorldNeedsLittlesMatterCompanyGraceOur LivesPlanetsGoes OnAmountNo Matter WhatWineDecadesEveningSanityTranquilityGood CompanyOasis Author:Dave Chambers
