    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In foreign policy you have to wait twenty-five years to see how it comes out.”
    —James Reston (b. 1909)

    Save in the office and affairs of love.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “One of the ministers of Truro, when I asked what the fishermen did in the winter, answered that they did nothing but go a- visiting, sit about, and tell stories, though they worked hard in summer. Yet it is not a long vacation they get. I am sorry that I have not been there in winter to hear their yarns.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
