Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially

Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.
As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.
I lived what most people call the good life. I was happy, but deep inside I always felt that, with the short amount of time we are given to live and love in this world, we spend too much time loving things instead of people.
He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Think of life as a terminal illness, because, if you do, you will live it with joy and passion, as it ought to be lived.
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.
To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
