But in poetry, it's the exact opposite. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. On Meaning Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.
Full effort is full victory.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. The truth is more important than the facts. Well done is better than well said.
