A Quote by Henry David Thoreau

There must be the... generating force of Love behind every effort destined to be successful. — © Henry David Thoreau
There must be the... generating force of Love behind every effort destined to be successful.
Whatever the soul chooses to love, it will resemble. And therefore what we choose to love is important: Love is the force behind every level of existence. There is some good in every attraction, but there is a process of refining attraction, of choosing what to love, so that we are energized by a wider, purer love
I feel projects are destined for actors. Whenever I find the project destined for me I'll be at it with full force.
We must remain in love and develop in love; that must be the compelling force in our lives. It is possible to love everyone. When you sense you lack love, you must quite simply pray.
Behind every successful person, stands a very successful mother-in-law.
Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.
The bottom line is we must get off our duff and make an effort to succeed. Trust me on this, when you see someone successful in any of the arts they have been willing to make an extra effort.
In joy or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity or the reverse, the effort must still continue. One must rise after every fall and gradually acquire courage, faith, the will to succeed and the capacity to love.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman - And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
For pilots sometimes see behind the curtain, behind the veil of gossamer velvet, and find the truth behind man, the force behind a universe.
We in the industry know that behind every successful screenwriter stands a woman. And behind her stands his wife.
Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement.
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
Every human being must have boundaries in order to have successful relationships or a successful performance in life.
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Creating a city for successful aging involves incorporating age friendly values into everything we do - every plan, every project, every design. I'm excited to be leading Honolulu in this effort, and I believe that it will be one of the most rewarding things I do as Mayor.
In life, you have to take the pace that love goes. You don't force it. You just don't force love, you don't force falling in love, you don't force being in love - you just become. I don't know how to say that in English, but you just feel it.
