    “He is the rich man, and enjoys the fruits of riches, who summer and winter forever can find delight in his own thoughts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
    She is a visitor who leaves behind
    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
    —Robert Nathan (1894–1985)
