    “Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
    The Day will come too soon.
    Young maids will curse thee, if thou steal’st away
    And leav’st their losses open to the day.
    Stay, stay, and hide
    The blushes of the bride.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    “In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “It does not disturb me that those whom I pardon are said to have deserted me so that
    they might again bring war against me. I prefer nothing more than that I should be true to
    myself and they to themselves.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)
