“Every noble work is at first impossible.”
“There are three stages to every great work of God; first it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.”
“Noble failure atones for the impossibility of resisting progress successfully.”
“When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.”
“To generous souls every task is noble.”
“If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul.”
