"Genial manners are good, and power of accommodation to any circumstance, but the high prize of life, the crowning fortune of a man is to be born with a bias to some pursuit, which finds him in employment and happiness - whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statutes, or songs."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
