-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
-- Booker T Washington, quoted in United Press International

"Any intelligent fool can invent further complications, but it takes a genius to retain, or recapture, simplicity."
-- E.F. Schumacher, quoted in the London Spectator
