"Whatever you do, do it to the purpose;……" — Lord Chesterfield

"Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads."

Lord Chesterfield
