    The Service without Hope
    Is tenderest, I think—
    ...
    There is no Diligence like that
    That knows not an Until—
    Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)

    We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self- will, more than of reason or even of self-interest.... Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
