What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.
I always loved running -- it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.
The ultimate goal of a more effective and efficient life is to provide you with enough time to enjoy some of it.
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word satiety.
A good man doubles the length of his existence, to have lived so as to look back with pleasure on our past life is to live twice.
I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.
Our Creator would never have made such lovely days, and have given us the deep hearts to enjoy them, above and beyond all thought, unless we were meant to be immortal.
