William Matthews Quotes
A Great Deal Of The Joy Of Life Consists In Doing Perfectly, Or At Least To The Best Of One's Ability, Everything Which One Attempts To Do. There Is A Sense Of Satisfaction, A Pride In Surveying Such A Work, A Work Which Is Rounded, Full, Exact, Complete In All Its Parts-which The Superficial Man, Who Leaves His Work In A Slovenly, Slipshod, Half-finished Condition Can Never Know. It Is This Conscientious Completeness Which Turns Work Into Art. The Smallest Thing, Well Done, Becomes Artistic.
