Punctuality Is a Great Virtue

 
 

“Punctuality is the soul of business.”

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

 

“Preparedness and punctuality are two of the most important qualities of a leader.”

John Andreas Widtsoe

 

“Want of punctuality is a want of virtue.”

James Murray Mason

 

“Strict punctuality is perhaps the cheapest virtue which can give force to an otherwise utterly insignificant character.”

“Perhaps punctuality is a quality made even more valuable because it is found in so few people.”

Sterling W Sill

 

 “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

Lord Chesterfield

 

“Punctuality is an essential trait of the teacher. It is a foundation, not an embellishment.”

Boyd K. Packer

 

“I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.”

Charles Dickens

 

“Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.”

William Shakespeare

 

“Being on time to appointments and meetings is a phase of self-discipline and an evidence of self-respect. Punctuality is a courteous compliment the intelligent person pays to his associates.”

“Punctuality is the politeness of kings.”

Louis XVIII of France

“I owe all my success in life to having been always a quarter of an hour before my time.”

“Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful.
