Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803 - 1882)
"Make the most of yourself,
for that is all there is of you."

Nature
Boon nature yields each day a
brag which we now first behold,
And trains us to slight the new,
as if it were the old:
But blest is he, who, playing
deep, yet haply asks not why,
Too busied with the crowded hour
to fear to live or die.
