Sow an act…reap a habit;
Sow a habit…reap a character;
Sow a character…reap a destiny.
—George Boardman
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.

The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
