“I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.”
Just a few quotes I found while going through a bunch of my stuff. I enjoy them.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that's all."
"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up."
"Storms make oaks take roots."
"If the wind will not serve, take to the oars;
Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe."
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
"Believe with all of your heart that you will do what you were made to do."
"Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you also have an obligation to be one."
"Whatever you are, be a good one."
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."
