"Effort is the one strictly undervalued and..." - Quote by William James

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

“You do not sing because you're happy, you're happy because you sing.”

“We must make automatic and habitual, as early as possible, as many useful actions as we can. . . . The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody of automatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work.”

“You've got to make a lot of sacrifices and spend a lot of time if you really want to achieve with this sport, or in any sport, or in anything truly worthwhile.”

“We aim above the mark to hit the mark.”

“Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.”

“Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.”

“Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.”

“Good wine needs no bush; a jug is the thing.”
