This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat I must do, is all that concerns me, not what the people think.

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
