T. S. Eliot

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

from "Four Quartets"

Henry David Thoreau

The true harvest of my life is intangible-- little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.

Anne Frank

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Helen Hunt Jackson

By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

With summer's best of weather

And autumn's best of cheer.

William James

I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride.

William James

Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.

Abraham Linclon

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
