Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

Do what you love. Know your own bone gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.
