    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Ex oriente lux may still be the motto of scholars, for the Western world has not yet derived from the East all the light which it is destined to receive thence.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My motto is: “Lord I disbelieve—help thou my unbelief.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
