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." ~William Matthews

"The first law of success is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left." ~William Matthews
