The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched. Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Wiser Today
A man should never be ashamed to own
that he has been in the wrong,
which is but saying in other words
that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

Now To Think
And now I thought:
till now I had only heard, seen, moved -
followed up or down where I was lead or dragged -
watched event rush on event,
disclosure open beyond disclosure:
but now, I thought.
- Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

Bravery in Increments
When you have mastered numbers,
you will in fact no longer be reading numbers
any more than you read words when you read books.
You will be reading meaning.
W.E.B. DuBois
