    Early to rise and early to bed makes a male healthy and wealthy and dead.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth, that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
