SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

"The beginning is the most important part of the work."

"The right way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success."

"No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again."

"Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can."

"The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

"We don't accomplish anything in this world alone ... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something."

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase."

"Beginning with audacity is a very great part of the art of painting."
