Νέος ἐφ’ ἡμέρῃ ἥλιος. [The sun is new every day.]
Heraclitus

Every day is a new deal.
Harvey Pekar, “Alice Quinn”

Nos plus grandes craintes, comme nos plus grandes espérances, ne sont pas au-dessus de nos forces, et nous pouvons finir par dominer les unes et réaliser les autres. [Our worst fears, like our greatest hopes, are not outside our powers, and we can come in the end to triumph over the former and to achieve the latter.]
Marcel Proust, Finding Time Again
*

Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living
