About This Quote

The most important thing we can do to protect ourselves from the ravages of time is to make sure we finish what we start. It’s not enough to say that we can’t let our friends and family down, because then we let them down. We must be the person we wanted others to be, and we must keep our word to those we love. If we say we will call again tomorrow, we must call again tomorrow. No excuses, no exceptions.
