Living With Passion

Happy Valentine’s Day!  To celebrate our most amorous holiday, the romantic bloggers of the b5media business channel are posting on love, passion and business today.  My contribution is to share a few of my favorite quotations on the subject of living – and working – with passion:

Martin Luther King, Jr.:  If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.  

Frank Lloyd Wright:  Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral. The size of the project means little in art, beyond the money matter. It is the quality of the character that really counts.  

Mark Twain:  The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation. 

Confucius :  Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.  

Zimbabwean Proverb:  If you can walk, you can dance.  If you can talk, you can sing.

Leonardo Da Vinci:  Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art

Viktor Frankl:  What is to give light must endure burning.

Mark Twain:  Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore. Dream. Discover.

Helen Keller:  Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing

Henry David Thoreau:  The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

Angela Monet:  Those who danced where thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.

Henny Youngman:  If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.
