“Anything worth doing, is worth doing all the way. Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make.”

“Don't you think," said Father Rothschild gently, "that perhaps it is all in some way historical? I don't think people ever want to lose their faith either in religion or anything else. I know very few young people, but it seems to me that they are all possessed with an almost fatal hunger for permanence. I think all these divorces show that. People aren't content just to muddle along nowadays ... And this word "bogus" they all use ... They won't make the best of a bad job nowadays. My private schoolmaster used to say, "If a thing's worth doing at all, it's worth doing well." My Church has taught that in different words for several centuries. But these young people have got hold of another end of the stick, and for all we know it may be the right one. They say, "If a thing's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing at all." It makes everything very difficult for them.”

“A life worth living, and work worth doing - that is what I want for children (and all people), not just, or not even, something called 'a better education.”

“Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly--until you can learn to do it well.”

“Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.”

“If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing it badly.”
