- Frank Herbert

We’ve decided to end our posting here on Tumblr in order to focus more of our efforts on our onsite content and curation collections.

We’ll also still be posting our new content on our Facebook page and our Twitter. 

Herbert was the author of the Dune Chronicles, a must-read collection that deals with the themes of heroism, declining civilizations, and environmentalism.

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

– Theodore Roosevelt

“In the Dominican Republic, Fader says, there is a saying among aspiring professional baseball players: You don’t walk off the island. They mean that the only way to go pro is to swing your way out. You have to hit and you can’t be choosey. But the problem is as soon as these players go pro, the only thing their coaches want is what’s called ‘plate discipline.’ You can’t be swinging at every pitch in the pros-you have to have judgement. This is a paradox in sports as well as life. When we are aspiring, we must hustle and be aggressive and then suddenly, we must become self-disciplined and strategic. If we can’t, we’ll end up right back where we came from. I am learning-and need to continue to learn-that lesson.”

– Ryan Holiday

“Allowing only ordinary ability and opportunity, we may explain success mainly by one word and that word is WORK! WORK!! WORK!!! WORK!!!! Not transient and fitful effort, but patient, enduring, honest, unremitting and indefatigable work into which the whole heart is put… There is no royal road to perfection.”

– Frederick Douglass

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

– Calvin Coolidge

“Mohammed Ali worked his butt off. I saw it first hand. I remember there was a sports writer in the gym when Ali was working out doing sit-ups. He asked Ali, “How many sit-ups do you do?”, and he said, “I don’t start counting until it hurts.” Now think about that, he doesn’t start counting sit-ups until he feels pain. That’s when he starts counting. That is working hard. So you can’t get around the hard work, it doesn’t matter who you are. Work your ass off. There is no magic pill. There is no magic out there. You can not get around, you have to work and work – it’s all hard work.”

– Arnold Schwarzenegger
