Mike Moore Quotes

Delay is preferable to error.

Even if you set a long-term goal, that doesn't mean it's a straight-line journey. Often, there are problems and obstacles along the way.

Time puts things in proper perspective.

Believe that time is going to help you do what you want.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go.

Good things, you can't rush into them.

Sometimes, you know - I think, with a lot of things, at the time, everything is extremely upsetting, and then you look back on it, and it actually can be sort of funny.
