“There is one curious fact noticeable in regard to this thing called "luck," which is, that while it is made responsible for any turn of affairs that we feel to be discreditable to us, it rarely has credit for an opposite state of things; but, like most other faithful allies in victory, comes poorly off.” FeelsMadeStatesFactsTurnsVictoryOppositesResponsibleRegardLuckAffairCreditCuriousFaithfulAllies Author:William Matthews

“A great deal of the joy of life consists in doing perfectly, or at least to the best of one's ability, everything which one attempts to do. There is a sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work, a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in all its parts-which the superficial man, who leaves his work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns work into art. The smallest thing, well done, becomes artistic.” KnowsMenWellsArtDoneJoyTurnsAbilityDealsHalfConditionsPridePerfectionSatisfactionFinishedArtisticSmallestSuperficialJoy Of LifeWell DoneCompleteness Author:William Matthews
