Of the craftsmen it may be said that
in the handiwork of their craft is their prayer.
Longfellow, Ladder of Saint Augustine, st. 10
The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Philip Thatcher
Ask not what the world needs;
ask rather what makes your heart sing,
and go do that -
for what the world needs
is people
with hearts that sing.

Henry van Dyke
Be glad of life,
for it gives you the chance
to love, and to work, and to play,
and to look up at the stars.

Goethe
One should, every day at least,
hear a little song, read a good poem,
see a fine picture, and, if possible,
speak a few reasonable words.

John Muir
This grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere,
the dew is never all dried at once,
a shower is forever falling,
vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset,
eternal dawn and gloaming,
on sea, continents, and islands,
each in its turn
as the round earth rolls.
