Nichts ist höher schätzen als der Werth des Tages. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few priveledged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.

We all of us live upon the past, and through the past we are destroyed.
