New Beginnings and Rebirth
Rupert Brooke
Now, God be thanked, Who has matched us with His hour, And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping.
Leonardo da Vinci
One shall be born from small beginnings which will rapidly become vast. This will respect no created thing, rather will it, by its power, transform almost every thing from its own nature into another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A light has dawned for me: I need companions, living ones, not dead companions and corpses which I carry with me wherever I wish. But I need living companions who follow me because they want to follow themselves— and who want to go where I want to go.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
John Milton
The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand with wand’ring steps and slow Through Eden took their solitary way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.
Ernest Hemingway
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
William Wordsworth
But Europe at that time was thrilled with joy, France standing on the top of golden hours, And human nature seeming born again.
Joseph Campbell
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
