“As a remedy against all ills; poverty, sickness, and melancholy only one thing is absolutely necessary; a liking for work”

“I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work”

“Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven”

“The essentials to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do”

“It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself”
