Ah! Sun-flower, weary of time, / Who countest the steps of the Sun, / Seeking after that sweet golden clime / Where the traveller's journey is done.
What is now proved was once only imagined.
To see a World in a Grain of Sand / And a Heaven in a Wild Flower / Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand / And Eternity in an hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche·1883He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.
Theodore Roosevelt·1904Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
Ralph Waldo Emerson·1841There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
