From The Hobbit:
Now goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones.
Don’t be satisfied with being merely clever. Make something beautiful.

For those who aren’t intimately familiar with Lord of the Rings, “goblin” is another word for “orc.”

Sound advice. I spend most of my days applying a certain sort of cleverness, but nothing give me so much satisfaction as when I am being creative.
