Inspirational Quotes by Elizabeth Prentiss (American Children’s Books Writer)

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 a breath, you would find this simple common-sense rule doing for you what no prayers or tears could ever accomplish.
—Elizabeth Prentiss
