achievements through loving work.

If a man is called a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as
Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare
wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of
heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great  streetsweeper
who did his job well.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Silence, it is said, is better than speech. If speak you must, then
it is better to say the truth. If truth is to be said, it  is better
to say what is agreeable; and if what is agreeable is to be said,
then it is better to say what is consistent with  morality.
-Vidura

Doubt is the key of knowledge. He who never doubts never examines. He
who never examines, never discovers anything. He who  discovers
nothing remains blind

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and a compassionate
heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.

If you can force your heart and nerve
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
you'll be a Man, my son!

Never complain, about the number of hours you have put in to do a job.
Your nobility must estimate how much of you was put into each hour of
your daily work.

frightened man, the treasury guard, and the steward,
these seven ought to be awakened if they fall asleep.
-Chanakya niti

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with  talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education
will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and
determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'press on' has
solved, and always will solve, the problems of  the human race
-Calvin Coolidge

When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, shoot, shoot with
all of your heart.
