Wendell Berry
“You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t want to be somebody else. What you must do is this:
“Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In everything give thanks.”
I am not all the way capable of so much, but those are the right instructions.”
Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

George Eliot
“But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Wallace Stegner
“Ambition is a path, not a destination, and it is essentially the same path for everybody. No matter what the goal is, the path leads through Pilgrim’s Progress regions of motivation, hard work, persistence, stubbornness, and resilience under disappointment. Unconsidered, merely indulged, ambition becomes a vice; it can turn an man into a machine that knows nothing but how to run. Considered, it can be something else — pathway to the stars, maybe. I suspect that what makes hedonists so angry when they think about overachievers is that the overachievers, without benefit of drugs or orgies, have more fun.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

William Shakespeare
“My friends were poor, but honest; so's my love:”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

William Shakespeare
“Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
