One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art. ~ Oscar Wilde Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day. ~ Thornton When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of Creation is completed inside us, the doors of our souls fly open, and love steps forth to heal everything in sight. ~ Michael Bridge The most enviable writers are those who, quite often unanalytically and unconsciously, have realized that there are different facets to their nature and are able to live and work with now one, now another, in the ascendant. ~ Dorothea Brande Better stop short than fill to the brim. Oversharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt. Amass a store of gold and jade, and no one can protect it. Claim wealth and titles, and disaster will follow. Retire when the work is done. This is the way of heaven. ~ Tao Te Ching The leader who exercises power with honor will work from the inside out, starting with himself. ~ Blaine Lee Teachers believe they have a gift for giving it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building. ~ A Bartlett Giamatti I have glorified thee on the earth I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ~ John 174 Bible To do great work a man must be very idle as well as very industrious. ~ Samuel Butler What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! ~ William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 2 scene 2 One should never criticize his own work except in a fresh and hopeful mood. The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide. ~ Charles Horton Cooley Minds are like parachutes they work best when open. ~ Lord Thomas Dewar
