Reminders

I don't entirely agree with this statement, but it is nonetheless a good reminder --

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life. -- T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)

And then there is this --

One ought everyday to hear a song, read a fine poem, and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Finally, I am chuffed to learn that Goethe and I agree in the following --

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.
