So let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing; learn to labor and to wait. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is always a best way of doing everything, if it be to boil an egg. Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love, — now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned.

Great men, great nations, have not been boasters and buffoons, but perceivers of the terror of life, and have manned themselves to face it.

Every natural action is graceful.
