A Cottage Full of Books

"I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read."

-Thomas B. Macaulay

Carpe Diem

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
