Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
~ Wendell Berry
There is no conflict between ‘profit and ‘social responsibility.’ To earn enough to cover the genuine costs which only the so-called ‘profit’ can cover, is economic and social responsibility — indeed, it is the specific social and economic responsibility of business. It is not the business that earns a profit adequate to its genuine costs of capital, to the risks of tomorrow and to the needs of tomorrow’s worker and pensioner that ‘rips off’ society. It is the business that fails to do so.
~ Peter Drucker
You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
~ Steve Jobs
We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire…give us the tools and we will finish the job.
~ Winston Churchill
The best way out is always through.
~ Robert Frost
Great things are not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought together.
~ Vincent Van Gogh
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
~ Thomas Edison
If you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.
~ C.S. Lewis
Work a little, wait a little, hope a little. The world needs you.

Don’t be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done.
