“Work at your job hunt the same way you would work at a job: 35 hours a week if you are unemployed, and 15 hours a week if you are employed. Otherwise, you will get no momentum.”

“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.”
by Abraham J. Heschel, quoted in Ruth M. Goodhill ed., "The Wisdom of Heschel"
