Forethought Quotations
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
Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Thucydides
