Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed — there's so little competition.

Work is always an antidote to depression.

I think what I'd love to see... I love muscular projects. I love the world of... I've worked in the action space quite a bit.

Endless action and reaction. Those beautifully rounded pebbles which you gather on the sand and which you hold in your hand and marvel at their exceeding smoothness, were chiseled into their varies and graceful forms by the ceaseless action of countless waves.

Stagnation is followed by pestilence and pestilence is followed by death.

There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life; one is to suit our lives to principles; the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.
