Mahatma Gandhi quote: "If you want something really important to be done you must not..."
If you want something really important to be done you must not merely satisfy the reason, you must move the heart also. Mahatma Gandhi
I can tell you that solitude. Is not all exaltation, inner space. Where the soul breathes and work can be done. Solitude exposes the nerve, Raises up ghosts. The past, never at rest, flows through it. May Sarton
They had certain Fixed Ideas implanted by Moreau in their minds which absolutely bounded their imaginations. They really were hypnotized, had been told certain things were impossible, and certain things were not to be done, and these prohibitions were woven into the texture of their minds beyond any possibility of disobedience or dispute. H. G. Wells

God has given us, in a measure, the power to make our own fate: and when our energies seem to demand a sustenance they cannot get--when our will strains after a path we may not follow--we need neither starve from inanition, not stand still in despair: we have but to seek another nourishment for the mind, as strong as the forbidden fruit it longed to taste--and...

This was the very limit beyond which none of them had ever speculated, or even known that there was any speculation to be done. Douglas Adams
Philip Stanhope quote: "In truth, whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well;..."
In truth, whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well; and nothing can be done well without attention. Philip Stanhope
We did meet forty years ago. At that time we were both influenced by Whitman and I said, jokingly in part, 'I don't think anything can be done in Spanish, do you?' Neruda agreed, but we decided it was too late for us to write our verse in English. We'd have to make the best of a second-rate literature. Jorge Luis Borges
Leonardo da Vinci quote: "He who does not oppose evil......commands it to be done."
He who does not oppose evil......commands it to be done. Leonardo da Vinci
Education...is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning,... by praise, but above all -- by example. John Ruskin
A Christian society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it: and we are not going to want it until we become fully Christian. I may repeat "Do as you would be done by" till I am black in the fact, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbour as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbour as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him. And so, as I warned you, we are driven on to something more inward - driven... C. S. Lewis
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal. Elbert Hubbard
