About This Quote

[Y]ou cannot mention everything in its proper place, you must choose, between the things not worth mentioning and those and those even less so. If we try to list everything we do and say we will be lost. We would never get anything done and we would never be able to talk to anyone. We would just be too busy talking about what we should do and say. Instead of trying to decide what is worth mentioning and what is not worth mentioning, we should focus on what we can do today and what we can accomplish today.
