Dictum

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero
(seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one)
- Horace

Perception

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things throu' narrow chinks of the cavern.
― William Blake

Do Your Best

"I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have - When he gives everything that is in him to do the job he has before him. That is all you can ask of him and that is what I have tried to do."
- Harry S. Truman
