“What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.”
“Duty is too often what one expects from others and not what one does. What people think and believe and plan are all very important, but what they do is the thing that counts most. It is a call to throw out selfishness and to think of the common good of all.”
“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.”
“One does not miss what one has never had.”
“One does what one is; one becomes what one does.”
“Well, he thought, one did what one had to do, so life went. No, one did what one had to do in order to do what one wanted to do - so life really went.”
