Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your
own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. Blackwater Woods

Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understand,
values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be
creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new
and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who
said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his
work--not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who
has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the
great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do
anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains?
The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of .
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of .
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
