The morning is wiser than the evening.
                                                - Russian proverb
 

                        Lives of great men all remind us
                              We can make our lives sublime,
                        And, departing, leave behind us
                              Footprints on the sands of time.
                                                -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
 

          It is our choices that show what we truly are, Harry,
                far more than our abilities.
                                                - J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter
 

             "Beautiful young people are acts of nature,
                     but beautiful old people are works of art."
