He should sweep streets so well that


Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.
- Henry David Thoreau

Haste is blind and improvident.
- Titus Livius (Livy)

Time, like life itself, has no inherent meaning.
We give our own meaning to time as to life.

A man can fail many times,
but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs

If a man is called to be a street sweeper,
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 street sweeper who did his job well.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this:
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
- Dorthea Brande

It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration,
bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.
- Lech Walesa

The successful and happy ones dance lightly with life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

They don’t call them DEADlines for nothing - keep breathing.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I am Counterpoint to the Clamor of the World.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
