Quote by John Howard

You can't fatten the pig on market day.

You can't fatten the pig on market day.

Summary

This quote is often used to emphasize the importance of long-term planning and investing rather than seeking immediate results. It suggests that if you want a pig to be fat and healthy on the day you sell it at the market, you must take care of it and feed it well over a period of time. Similarly, in life and business, success cannot be achieved overnight, but rather through consistent effort, patience, and strategic decision-making that promotes long-term growth and prosperity.
