Selfless giving means forgeting about yourself. It means letting go and doing something crazy.

Frederick Lenz

Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely

Gayle Forman

The doing of something productive regardless of the outcome is an act of faith. The doing of a small something when a large something is too much for us is perhaps especially an act of faith. Faith means going forward by whatever means we can.

Julia Cameron

Markets need not be in sync with one another. Simultaneously, the bond market can be priced for sustained tough times, the equity market for a strong recovery, and gold for high inflation. Such an apparent disconnect is indefinitely sustainable.

Seth Klarman

We have to make sustainable living convenient, sustainable business profitable & sustainable change fashionable

Wayne Visser

When I'm doing something I love, I can lose sleep. I can go and go and go and go. My work ethic is pretty intense. But when it comes to doing something that I don't love every day, I'm not very good at it. That's called work, and I don't like work that much.

Queen Latifah

Often actors ask me if I think they should go on trying to be an actor. I have the same answer for everyone who asks: If you have a choice and could reasonably be happy doing something else, by all means go at once and do something else. Acting or writing or directing in the theatre or television or screen is only for the irrecoverably diseased, those who are so smitten with the need that there is no choice.

Michael Shurtleff

Making art now means working in the face of uncertainty; it means living with doubt and contradiction, doing something no one much cares whether you do, and for which there may be neither an audience nor reward. Making the work you want to make means setting aside these doubts so that you may see clearly what you have done, and thereby see where to go next. Making the work you want to make means finding nourishment within the work itself.

David Bayles

I forget who said it, but there's that saying: 'Films are never finished, they're abandoned.' There's always something you think you can improve on, but I don't think you should try. George Lucas started doing it, and didn't stop. You can tinker indefinitely, and it doesn't necessarily make it better.

Mike Flanagan

You cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C. S. Lewis

Just to know I have so many fans out there buying my jersey means a lot. It means I'm doing something right.

Brittney Griner

That the powers of labour, and of the other instruments which produce wealth, may be indefinitely increased by using their products as the means of further production.

Nassau William Senior

Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.

Jodi Picoult

I feel like 'Nashville' can go on indefinitely.

Connie Britton

A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.

Yanni

When doing something you love, no matter what you'd be getting paid or think the outcome might be, not only will you enjoy yourself more, but you have a better chance of actually creating a sustainable life. Happiness is contagious.
