“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.

Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”
Bhagavad Gita

Man is the hardest animal to kill, when you kill a man, your hands shake,
“Man is the hardest animal to kill, when you kill a man, your hands shake, your eyes twitch, your heart flutters, but you kill non the less.”
Salvatore Maranzano

Bruce Lee
“Honestly expressing yourself...it is very difficult to do. I mean it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling and then feel like pretty cool...or I can make all kind of phony things, you see what I mean, blinded by it or I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself...now that, my friend, is very hard to do.”
Bruce Lee

Marcus Aurelius
“I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me.
But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Philip Larkin
“Originality is being different from oneself, not others.”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica
