“It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influences over us. The same wind that carries one vessel into port may blow another off shore.” – Christian Bovee “Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influences to exert, which are peculiarly his and which no conscience but his own can teach. “ - William Ellery Channin “If a man has a right to be proud of anything, it is good action done as it ought to be, without any base interest lurking at the bottom of it.” – Lawrence Sterne
