W. Somerset Maugham

Kindness, Grace, Quality

W. Somerset Maugham (1954). “Mr. Maugham Himself”

Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.

W. Somerset Maugham

Dirty, Hands, Grace
