| Quote of the moment |
| The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God’s foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it. |

| Frankly, I do not know how to effect a permanency in American foreign policy. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Letter of January 30, 1934, President’s Personal File, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York. Edward M. Bennett, Recognition of Russia: An American Foreign Policy Dilemma, p. 82, Ginn/Blaisdell (1970). A friend had asked FDR to provide a long-range perspective on American foreign policy in order that the people could follow his leadership. FDR did not believe that it was possible to lay out a long term, specific plan in foreign policy. He preferred a pragmatic approach. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| When I consider life, 't is all a cheat. Yet fool'd with hope, men favour the deceit; Trust on, and think to-morrow will repay. To-morrow 's falser than the former day; Lies worse, and while it says we shall be blest With some new joys, cuts off what we possest. Strange cozenage! none would live past years again, Yet all hope pleasure in what yet remain; And from the dregs of life think to receive What the first sprightly running could not give. |
| ~ John Dryden, Aurengzebe. Act iv. Sc. 1. ~ |
