    “Most blest believer he!
    Who in that land of darkness and blind eyes
    Thy long-expected healing wings could see,
    When thou didst rise,
    And what can never more be done
    Did at midnight speak with the Sun!”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn’t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    “I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
