"Move, but don't move the way fear..." - Quote by Rumi

“Achieve some perfection [excellence] yourself, so that you may not fall into sorrow by seeing the perfection in others.”

“Love opens my chest, and thought returns to its confines.”

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”

“Every attainment, every step forward in knowledge, follows from courage, from hardness against oneself, from cleanliness in relation to oneself.”

“My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.”

“The more men have to lose, the less willing are they to venture.”

“Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.”

“He who is ever brooding over result often loses nerve in the performance of his duty.”

“Action is hope. At the end of each day, when you've done your work, you lie there and think, Well, I'll be damned, I did this today. It doesn't matter how good it is, or how bad-you did it. At the end of the week you'll have a certain amount of accumulation. At the end of a year, you look back and say, I'll be damned, it's been a good year.”
