As if at pain; for it is pain, to think

Defeat and counterfeit, makes up, in fact,
My ablest time.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

Yet it is not a long vacation they get. I am sorry that I have not been there in winter to hear their yarns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
