“There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
- Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost
