Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the idle never know.

Harold Robbins

Harold Robbins

Harold Robbins (May 21, 1916-October 14, 1997) was an American author.

Robbins claimed to be a Jewish orphan raised in a Catholic boys home who made and lost a fortune by age 20. In fact, Harold Rubin was reared by his pharmacist father and stepmother in Brooklyn. And his first wife wasn't a Chinese dancer who died from a parrot bite as he had also claimed, she was in fact merely his high school sweetheart [1] (when that marriage ended after 28 years, he married four more times).
