"The more keenly we are awake to..." - Quote by Henry Van Dyke

“Thou warden of the western gate, above Manhattan Bay, The fogs of doubt that hid thy face are driven clean away: Thine eyes at last look far and clear, thou liftest high thy hand To spread the light of liberty world-wide for every land.”

“Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.”

“In warlike pomp, with banners flowing, The regiments of autumn stood: I saw their gold and scarlet glowing From every hillside, every wood.”

“You gotta be willing to fail...if you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.”

“Men who are sincere in defending their freedom, will always feel concern at every circumstance which seems to make against them; it is the natural and honest consequence of all affectionate attachments, and the want of it is a vice. But the dejection lasts only for a moment; they soon rise out of it with additional vigor; the glow of hope, courage and fortitude, will, in a little time, supply the place of every inferior passion, and kindle the whole heart into heroism.”

“True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.”

“Mankind cannot get on without a certain amount of absurdity.”

“I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”

“Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”
