There is only one thing better than tradition and that is the original and eternal life out of which all tradition takes its rise.
James Russell LowellWhat visionary tints the year puts on, When falling leaves falter through motionless air Or numbly cling and shiver to be gone! How shimmer the low flats and pastures bare, As with her nectar Hebe Autumn fills The bowl between me and those distant hills, And smiles and shakes abroad her misty, tremulous hair!
James Russell LowellThere is no better ballast for keeping the mind steady on its keel, and saving it from all risk of crankiness, than business.
