"I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference." - Max Lucado

Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule which is little known and less fixed?" - Alexander Hamilton

"In the elder days of Art, builders wrought with greatest care each minute and unseen part; for the gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well both the unseen and the seen; make the house where gods may dwell beautiful, entire, and clean, else our lives are incomplete standing in these walls of Time, broken stairways, where the feet stumble, as they seek to climb. Build today, then, strong and sure, with a firm and ample base; and ascending and secure shall tomorrow finds its place. Thus alone can we attain to those turrets, where the eye sees the world as one vast plain, and one boundless reach of sky." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and through they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." - Kahlil Gibran
