"The Hare and the Tortoise
A hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race. The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue.
Slow but steady wins the race."

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
Author: Henry David Thoreau
About: Conformity
"The general's disdained
By him one step below, he by the next,
The next by him beneath; so every step,
Exampled by the first pace that is sick
Of his superior, grows to an envious fever
Of pale and bloodless emulation:
And 'tis this fever that keeps Troy on foot,
Not her own sinews."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Envy
"You have to set the tone and the pace, define objectives and strategies, demonstrate through personal example what you expect from others."

About: Example
"And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last."
Author: Robert William Service
About: Failure
"Where is home? Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness. Home is where the heart's tears can dry at their own pace. -Vernon Baker."

About: Heartquotes
"Gamaun is a dainty steed,
Strong, black, and of a noble breed,
Full of fire, and full of bone,
With all his line of fathers known;
Fine his nose, his nostrils thin,
But blown abroad by the pride within;
His mane is like a river flowing,
And his eyes like embers glowing
In the darkness of the night,
And his pace as swift as light."
Author: Barry Cornwall (pseudonym of Bryan Waller Procter)
About: Horses
"Ignorance is never out of style. It was in fashion yesterday, it is the rage today and it will set the pace tomorrow."

About: Ignorance
"What care if the day
Be turned to gray,
What care if the night come soon!
We may choose the pace
Who bow for grace,
At the Inn of the Silver Moon."
Author: Herman Knickerbocker Viele
About: Inns
"The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power
of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives
and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement
for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as
the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget
that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on
outside."
