Punctuality is the sole of business.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Punctuality is the soul of business.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Perhaps punctuality is a quality made even more valuable because it is found in so few people. Punctuality is not usually thought of in our day as a major virtue.

Sterling W Sill

Punctuality is one of the cardinal business virtues: always insist on it in your subordinates.

Don Marquis

Punctuality is the stern virtue of men of business, and the graceful courtesy of princes.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

I do not accept that life has an ordinary shape, or that there is anything ordinary about life at all. We make it ordinary, but it is not.

Jeanette Winterson

Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.

Rajneesh

When steam first began to pump and wheels go round at so many revolutions per minute, what are called business habits were intended to make the life of man run in harmony with the steam engine, and his movement rival the train in punctuality.

George William Russell

I don't understand writers who feel they shouldn't have to do any of the ordinary things of life, because I think that this is necessary: one has to keep in touch with that... The ordinary action of taking a dress down to the dry cleaner's or spraying some plants infected with greenfly is a very sane and good thing to do. It brings one back, so to speak. It also brings the world back.
