His labour is a chant,|His idleness a tune;|Oh, for a bee’s experience|Of clovers and of noon.
—Emily Dickinson (American Poet)
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (American Head of State)
Hold a true friend with both hands.

If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island, cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them.

Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standards never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in the world’s estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.
—Susan B. Anthony (American Civil Rights Leader)
There is not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself.
—William Shakespeare (British Playwright)
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
