„p> So many of us!So many of us!We are shelves, we areTables, we are meek,We are edible,Nudgers and shoversIn spite of ourselves.Our kind multiplies:We shall by morningInherit the earth.Our foot’s in the door.
— Sylvia Plath

„We shall make mistakes; and if we let these mistakes frighten us from our work we shall show ourselves weaklings.“
— Theodore Roosevelt
„p>The distance that the dead have goneDoes not at first appear;Their coming back seems possibleFor many an ardent year.And then, that we have followed themWe more than half suspect,So intimate have we becomeWith their dear retrospect.
— Emily Dickinson
„We know a history so that we can learn from it. We learn our history because we understand the sacrifices that were made before, so that when we make sacrifices we understand we're doing it on behalf of future generations. There’s a proverb that says, “We have not inherited this land from our forebears, we have borrowed it from our children.” In other words, we study the past so it can guide us into the future, and inspire us to do better.“
— Barack Obama
„p>Nature is what we see,The Hill, the Afternoon—Squirrel, Eclipse, the Bumble-bee,Nay—Nature is Heaven.Nature is what we hear,The Bobolink, the Sea—Thunder, the Cricket—Nay,—Nature is Harmony.Nature is what we knowBut have no art to say,So impotent our wisdom isTo Her simplicity.
— Emily Dickinson
