Be sure of your call to every business you go about. Though it is the least business, be sure of your call to it; then, whatever you meet with, you may quiet your heart with this: I know I am where God would have me. Nothing in the world will quiet the heart so much as this: when I meet with any cross, I know I am where God would have me, in my place and calling; I am about the work that God has set me.

God doesn't love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.

What you can become is the miracle you were born to be through the work that you do.

In my work and what I do, I am Queen of the Universe every day!

Since God is the one who calls people to their work, the worker becomes a steward who serves God.

[God] wants us to work with Him, honey. Not for Him.

I believe that each work of art, whether it is a work of great genius, or something very small, comes to the artist and says, "Here I am. Enflesh me. Give birth to me."

the artist is not separate from the work and therefore cannot judge it.

When God contemplates some great work, He begins it by the hand of some poor, weak, human creature, to whom He afterwards gives aid.

If a musician is making a mediocre, self-indulgent body of work, they have to know that, for the most part, people aren't going to be interested.

I am very present in my work and my work is somehow an expression of my soul, but at the same time I think that a writer cannot write out of nothing.

We live not to ourselves, our work is life.
