"Things won are done, joy's soul lies..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property ordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings.”

“Because I cannot flatter and look fair,Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog,Duck with French nods and apish courtesy,I must be held a rancorous enemy.”

“Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through fog and filthy air.”

“No matter how much you've done, or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.”

“The tree which needs two arms to span its girth sprang from the tiniest shoot. Yon tower, nine stories high, rose from a little mound of earth. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

“COMMITMENT is the first step to every good thing I know, and the only step that matters when it comes to achievement. It inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. And the commitment that is based on values will endure. Any time you make choices based on solid life values, you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment, because you don't have to continually re-evaluate its importance.”

“It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.”

“Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.”

“What I know for sure is that it's only when you make the process your goal that the big dream can follow. That doesn't necessarily mean your process will necessarily lead you to wealth or fame. In fact, your dream may have nothing to do with tangible prosperity and everything to do with creating a life filled with joy, one with no regrets and a clear conscience. I've learned that wealth is a tool that gives you choices, but it can't compensate for a life not fully lived and it certainly can't create a sense of peace within you.”
