“I'm speaking of the pursuit of excellence in all things. All things! Presence of mind and devotion to craft. A great artist has these. A great chef. A great master of tea. There's powerful kung fu in a well-built house or an eloquent letter, but the limit of your imagination is bones breaking and bullets flying.” MindWellsArtistHouseImaginationPowerfulMastersLimitsBuiltAll ThingsLettersExcellenceBonesPursuitFlyingDevotionCraftsTeaBulletsChefGreat ArtGreat ArtistEloquentKung FuPresence Of MindPursuit Of Excellence Author:Scott Lynch

“All true and living devotion presupposes the love of God and indeed it is neither more nor less than a very real love of God, though not always of the same kind; for that Love one while shining on the soul we call grace, which makes us acceptable to His Divine Majesty; when it strengthens us to do well, it is called Charity; but when it attains its fullest perfection, in which it not only leads us to do well, but to act carefully, diligently, and promptly, then it is called Devotion.” WellsKindRealSoulGraceDivinePerfectionCatholicShiningCharityDevotionGod LoveAcceptableReal LoveMajesty Author:Saint Francis de Sales
