More Advice from Mignon McLaughlin

  • Don't fool yourself that important things can be put off till tomorrow; they can be put off forever or not at all.
  • We have a terror of seeming to exert ourselves, lest it be noticed that we exerted ourselves and did not succeed.
  • The neurotic lies awake at night, composing letters to those he hates. He seldom thinks of dropping a line to those he loves.

From the out of print "The Complete Neurotic's Notebook" by Mignon McLaughlin.
