Pólya, George

Who understand ill, answers ill.
Think on te end before you begin.
A fool looks ot the beginning, a wise man regards the end.
A wise man begins in the end, a fool ends in the beginning.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Perseverance kills the game.
An oak is not felled at one stroke.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Try all the keys in the bunch.
Arrows are made of all sorts of wood.
As the wind blows you must set your sail.
Cut your coat according to the cloth.
We must do as we may if we can't do as we would.
A wise man changes his mind, a fool never does.
Have two strings to your bow.
Do and undo, te day is long enough.
The end of fishing is not angling but catching.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
A wise man will make tools of what comes to hand.
A wise man turns chance into good fortune.
Look before you leap.
Try before you trust.
A wise delay makes the road safe.
If you will sail without danger you must never put to sea.
Do the likeliest and hope the best.
Use the means and God will give the blessing.
We soon believe what we desire.
Step after step the ladder is ascended.
Little by little as the cat ate the flickle.
Do it by degrees.
What a fool does at last, a wise man does at first.
He thinks not well that thinks not again.
Second thoughts are best.
It is safe riding at two anchors.

~Polya, George (1887 - 1985)
