    “Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
    An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
    The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
    Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
    The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
    Anticipation forward points the view:”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges ... which are employed altogether for their benefit.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
