The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in—that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

Passion creates the desire for more and action fuelled by passion creates a future

The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

“Don’t smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.”

All religions are true but none are literal.
