If what you propose to do deserves your attention, and is not so trivial that
time should not be wasted on it, do it to the best of your ability.

It was G.K. Chesterton who invented the paradox: ‘If a thing is worth doing it
is worth doing badly,’ In other words, if a thing is worth doing it is worth
making an attempt at it, rather than not trying at all.
