There is time enough for everything, in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once; but there is not time enough in the year, if you will do two things at a time.

Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.

Robert Browning

Pedro Calderón de la Barca

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
