Quotes for the Day

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what

you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in;

forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day;

begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be

cumbered with your old nonsense.

This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, 

with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays

Ralph Waldo Emerson

*****

If a man is to be called a street sweeper, he should sweep streets

even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played 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 street

sweeper who did his job well

Martin Luther King, Jr.
