Courage for the great sorrows of life,
and patience for the small ones,
And when you have laboriously accomplished
your daily task,
Go to sleep in peace.
God is awake.
~Victor Hugo
I am hurt, but I am not slain! I will lay me down
and bleed awhile; then I'll rise and fight again.
from St. Barton's Ode
"What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of the buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset."
The Last Words Of Crowfoot (1821-1890)
