“When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses.”
― Shirley Chisholm

William Shakespeare
“For there was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently.”
― William Shakespeare

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.”
― Emerson

C.S. Lewis
“And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.”
― Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook
