Let Honor Be To Us As Strong

The Great Business Of Man Is To Improve His Mind, And Govern His Manners; All Other Projects And Pursuits, Whether In Our Power To Compass Or Not, Are Only Amusements.

We Neglect Those Things Which Are Under Our Very Eyes, And Heedless Of Things Within Our Grasp, Pursue Those Which Are Afar Off.

And That All Seas Are Made Calme And Still With Oile; And Therefore The Divers Under The Water Doe Spirt And Sprinkle It Abroad With Their Mouthes Because It Dulceth And Allaieth The Unpleasant Nature Thereof, And Carrieth A Light With It.

The Depth Of Darkness To Which You Can Descend And Still Live Is An Exact Measure Of The Height To Which You Can Aspire To Reach.

It Is This Earth That, Like A Kind Mother, Receives Us At Our Birth, And Sustains Us When Born; It Is This Alone, Of All The Elements Around Us, That Is Never Found An Enemy Of Man.
