About This Quote
The quote, “We do many things carelessly or unwillingly, but nothing studiously unless we are willing and apply ourselves,” is a great reminder to all of us. If we are not willing to do anything for the good of others, then why would we bother doing anything for ourselves? When we are unwilling to learn something new or even read a book to learn something new, then why would we bother learning it in the first place? If you are not willing to put in the work it takes to be kind and gentle to yourself, then why would you want anyone else to put in that work?
