If you think people are dumb, you'll spend a lifetime doing dumb work.

If a man does not work passionately - even furiously - at being the best in the world at what he does, he fails his talent, his destiny, and his God.

The joy of the creative process, minute by minute, hour after hour, day by day, is the sublime path to true happiness.

Only mediocre ideas can be tested.

The more creative you are the more trouble you're in. You have to be courageous!

Working hard and doing doing great work is as imperative as breathing. Creating great work warms the heart and enriches the soul. Those of us lucky enough to spend our days doing something we love, something we're good at, are rich. If you do not work passionately (even furiously) at being the best in the world at what you do, you fail your talent, your destiny, and your god.

Only with absolute fearlessness can we slay the dragons of mediocrity that invade our gardens.
