Brute force
crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids
will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before
Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after

nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the
beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.

1885-1930, British Author
Know how
sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.

People have to
learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much
the head, can bear.
-- Maria Mitchell

endure conquer.
