Six quotes on digging deep

by John on January 27, 2008

Here are six quotes I’ve been thinking about related to digging deep into whatever is in front of you, making uninteresting work interesting.

Richard Feynman:

… nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough …

G. K. Chesterton:

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

William Blake:

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

King Solomon:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might …

James Woolsey:

If you’re enthusiastic about the things you’re working on, people will come ask you to do interesting things.

King Solomon:

Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
