THERE are in this loud stunning tide
Of human care and crime,
With whom the melodies abide
Of th’ everlasting chime;
Who carry music in their heart
Through dusky lane and wrangling mart,
Plying their daily task with busier feet,
Because their secret souls a holy strain repeat.
John Keble

We need not care whether they could prove the forty-seventh proposition; they do a better thing than that, they practically demonstrate the great theorem of the Liveableness of Life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
NEVER is it so hard to follow and trust a higher inspiration, as amid the crowd of customary things.
James Martineau
THOSE who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
James M. Barrie
