Alt som er verdt å gjøre, er verdt å gjøres bra.
Letters to his Son (1774).
Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
In truth, whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well; and nothing can be done well without attention: I therefore carry the necessity of attention down to the lowest things, even to dancing and dress.
