" The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice 

 of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, 

 but in a silent thought by the wayside as we walk ; in a thought 

 which revives our entire manner of life and says : * Thus hast thou 

 done, but it were better thus.' " 



Ralph Waldo Emerson (Spiritual Laws).
