Quotes

"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beehoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well." Martin Luther King, Jr.

"March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil." -- Sara Coleridge

Literary Words of Advice

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired of waiting
Or be lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master,
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet your Triumph and Disaster,
and treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools.

If you can make one heep of all your winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breath a word about your loss.

If you and force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will that says to them "Hold On!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with 60 seconds worth of distance run.
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it
And- which is more- you'll be a man my son!

-- Rudyard Kipling
