Filed under Input and tagged Quotes on October 20th, 2011
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably in themselves will not be realized.

Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.
Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.

No good book has ever been written that has in it symbols arrived at beforehand and stuck in… I tried to make a real old man, a real boy, a real sea and a real fish and real sharks. But if I made them good and true enough they would mean many things.
Ernest Hemingway speaking about The Old Man and the Sea | 1951
