Vincent Van Gogh

Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart.

Ancient Indian Proverb

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Aristotle
