Your post motivated me to go to my fridge and get the notes off it to share.
Here's what I currently have on my fridge:
"By time and toil
we sever
What strength and rage
could never."
--Jean Le Fontaine, French poet (1621 - 95)
"Our attitudes control our lives.
They are a secret power working 24 hours a day for good or bad.
It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control
this great force."
