It has been a long day. I find myself withdrawing, and it not being appreciated. Here are somethings that hopefully will make you all realize some aspect of me.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

Hold yourself for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. - Henry Ward Beecher

All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. (16th century philosopher) - Benedict Spinoza

It's only those who are persistent, and willing to study things deeply, who achieve the Master Work. (from The
Alchemist) - Paul Coelho

One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent. - Epictetus


And finally...

There is no excellency without difficulty. - Ovid

there can be excellence without difficulty. Some people take to things naturally, like Mozart and stuff.

Seriously what the hell are you talking about? I hate all of this damn poetry and junk that makes absolutely zero sense and should be thrown in the garbage along with charlie.
