If you love what you do, you'll never work another day in your life.   Mark Twain

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.  He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I never wanted to be famous, but I wanted to be great.  Ray Charles
