See how the masses of men worry themselves into nameless graves, while here and there a great unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

God, give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and, ready hands; men whom the lust of office does not kill; men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; men who possess opinions and a will; men who have honor; men who will not lie; men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking.
--J.G. Holland

No vision and you perish; no ideal, and you're lost; your heart must ever cherish some faith at any cost, some hope, some dream to cling to, some rainbow in the sky, some melody to sing to, some service that is high.
--Harriet du Autremont

Guiding Principle in Life by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends
To appreciate beauty
To find the best in others
To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
