No life can be pure in its purpose, and strong in its strife, and all life not be purer and stronger thereby.

Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

The man who seeks one thing in life and but one
May hope to achieve it before life is done;
But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes
Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows
A harvest of barren regrets.
