About this Quote

This quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow speaks to the significance of enthusiasm and devotion in any undertaking. It recommends that when one puts their heart into their work, it will be imbued with an unique grace. This grace is not something that can be taught or learned, however rather something that originates from within. It is the outcome of a deep dedication to the job at hand, and a willingness to put in the effort to make it successful. This grace is what sets apart those who are really passionate about their work from those who are simply going through the motions. It is the difference in between a task well done and a job that is merely adequate. Longfellow's quote is a suggestion that when we put our hearts into our work, we can attain great things.
