    Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.
    —William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)

    Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?
    William Morris (1834–1896)

    You can put up with everything in this world except not with a long stretch of beautiful days.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
