There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.

If you love it enough, anything will talk with you.

When you do common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people, they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
