“Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.”
~ Stephen R. Covey
from “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”
In his “Seven Habits,” Covey makes the brilliant point that PRIVATE victory comes BEFORE public victory.
Simply: if we want all the joys of outward success, first we must master ourselves.
Quite simple.
Don’t start by chasing outward success.
Let the public acclaim flow OUT OF our own self-mastery.

I would say to my fellows, once for all, as long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.
