Joy to the world! The Lord is come:
let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room,
and heaven and nature sing.

What we do today, right now,
will have an accumulated effect
on all our tomorrows.
  ~ Stoddard, Alexandra

Give light, and the darkness
will disappear of itself.
  ~ Erasmus

Some cannot sing,
but the orchard is full of birds
and we can all listen.
