To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward. – Margaret Fairless Barber, The Roadmender
Dont think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark. – Samuel Johnson
