“Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.”
“The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.”
“Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.”
“It is for the superfluous we sweat.”
“There is nothing which persevering effort and unceasing and diligent care cannot accomplish.”
“To make a commencement requires a mental effort.”
“Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.”
