I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.

By words one transmits thoughts to another, by means of art, one transmits feelings.

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Faith is the mightiest force that man has at his command. It impels human beings to greatness in thought and word and deed.

Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
