“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To wonder at beauty,
Stand guard over truth,
Look up to the noble,
Decide for the good,


This surely will lead me
To purpose in living,
To right in my actions,
To peace in my feeling,
To clarity in my thinking,


And to teach me to trust
In love and compassion
For all that there is
In the wide, wide world,
And in the depths of my soul.” - Rudolph Steiner
