An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON PRIORITY
Priority is a function of context.
Stephen R. Covey (1932-, American speaker, trainer, author of "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People")
Keep in mind that you are always saying 'no' to something. If it isn't to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Stephen R. Covey (1932-, American speaker, trainer, author of "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People")
The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969, American President (34th))
A clever man should handle his interests so that each will fall in suitable order of their value. Our greediness often brings trouble to this order, and makes us pursue so many things at the same time, that while we attend to the trifling too eagerly, we miss the great.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer)
It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important.
Doris Lessing (1919-, British novelist)
