The Holy Scriptures praise the dew of the morning and the dew of the evening; ros matutinum, ros serotinum! Happy is he who possesses the gift of tears! when young, he will bear flowers; when old, fruit! – Joseph Roux, Meditations of a Parish Priest, translated from French by Isabel F.
He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. – Henry David Thoreau
