The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.” —William Arthur Ward
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
Alfred Tennyson

Than never to have loved at all.

How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?
Yet here's a travelled man that knows
What he talks about,
And there's a politician
That has read and thought,
And maybe what they say is true
Of war and war's alarms,
But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms!
---William Butler Yeats
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).” —Mark Twain
Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...
---Alfred Lord Tennyson
To do two things at once is to do neither.” —Publilius Syrus
For he comes, the human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
From a world more full of weeping
than he can understand.
---W. B. YEATS
