William Shakespeare

Joe Wright

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Samuel Johnson

Never say die.

Proverb

Iain Duncan Smith

Every thought derives from a thwarted sensation.
