"I never saw the moor, I never saw the sea; yet know I how the heather looks, and what the waves must be. I never spoke with God nor visited in Heaven; yet certain am I of the spot, as if a chart were given."
Emily Dickinson
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper, who did his job well."
Dr. Martin Luther King
"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."
Henry David
