—ARISTOTLE

“If it falls to one’s lot to be a street sweeper, he should at that moment seek to sweep streets like Michelangelo carved marble, like Rafael painted pictures. He should seek to sweep streets like Beethoven composed the music or like Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should seek to sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, “Here lived a great street sweeper, and he swept his job well.”

—MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

“The beautiful thing about learning is no one can take it away from you.”

—B.B. KING

“No one is useless in this world . . . who lightens the burden of it for anyone else.”
