“The real test of a shorthand system is the ability of the writer to read back his own notes readily and accurately.”

“Shorthand is the fine art of seizing the fleeting thought and pinning it down for future use.”

“The writer of this book has one purpose, and one purpose only—to help you.”

“Simplicity is the keynote of the Gregg system.”

“The world owes a living to no one, but it owes everyone an opportunity to make a living.”

“Enthusiasm is the great engine that moves the world.”

“Success in this, as in all other arts, is the result of intelligent, persistent, and enthusiastic application.”

“There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.”
