Be systematically heroic in little unnecessary points, do every day or two something for no other reason than its difficulty, so that, when the hour of need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved or untrained to stand the test. – Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011

Stuff like that. – David Nicholls, One Day, 2010
It is a great ability to be able to conceal one’s ability. – Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 – 1680), Maxims, 1665
