Elizabeth Prentiss Quote

If you could once make up your mind never to undertake more work ... than you can carry on calmly quietly without hurry or flurry ... and if the instant you feel yourself growing nervous and ... out of breath you would stop and take breath you would find this simple common-sense rule doing for you what no prayers or tears could ever accomplish.
