A resignation is a grave act; never performed by a right minded man without forethought or with reserve.
Salmon P. Chase
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Thomas A. Edison
Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought.
Thucydides
Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry
I do give a great deal of forethought and zone in on character and all sorts of things like that. Never before have I just stuffed something away in the back cupboard of my brain because it was just such a crazy concept.
Greg Kinnear
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
Charles Buxton
Wisdom, prudence, forethought, these are essential. But not second to these that noble courage which adventures the right, and leaves the consequences to God.
Robert Dale Owen
