“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

“Of any activity you do, ask yourself: If I were the last person on earth, would I still do it?”
“If she were gone I would be nothing. You should think better of yourself than to settle for that.”
