In life's small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained; knowest thou when Fate
Thy measure takes? or when she'll say to thee,
"I find thee worthy; do this deed for me"?
—James Russell Lowell.

'Tis a lifelong toil till our lump be leaven.
The better! What's come to perfection perishes.
