O may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence; live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude... (George Eliot)

The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all know deep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.

Jorge Luis Borges

We shall march prospering,not thro' his presence Songs may inspirit us,not from his lyre Deeds will be done,while he boasts his quiescence, Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire.

Robert Browning

Our deeds are like children that are born to us; they live and act apart from our own will. Nay, children may be strangled, but deeds never: they have an indestructible life both in and out of our consciousness.

George Eliot

Unfortunately it's also true to say that good management is a bit like oxygen-it's invisible and you don't notice its presence until it's gone, and then you're sorry.

Charles Stross

We live in the midst of invisible forces whose effects alone we perceive. We move among invisible forms whose actions we very often do not perceive at all, though we may be profoundly affected by them.

Dion Fortune
