Before the immense possibilities of man, all mere experience, all past biography, however spotless and sainted, shrinks away. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

The saddest of all failures is that of a soul, with its capabilities and possibilities, failing of life everlasting, and entering upon that night of death upon which morning never dawns. [ Robert Herrick ]
