“The work of the world must still be done,
And minds are many though truth be one.”

“For men must work, and women must weep,
And there's little to earn, and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.”

“It must be good to die in the knowledge that one has done some truthful work… and to know that, as a result, one will live on in the memory of at least a few and leave a good example for those who come after.”

“Some good must come by clinging to the right. Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one's course by it, still one must try to follow its direction.”

“A pure, sincere, and stable spirit is not distracted though it be employed in many works; for that it works all to the honor of God, and inwardly being still and quiet, seeks not itself in any thing it doth.”

“Any work is creative work if done by a thinking mind.”

“Truth is naturally universal… and shines into many different windows, though many are clouded.”

“Such hath it been — shall be — beneath the sun
The many still must labour for the one!”

“Let justice be done, though the world perish.”
Fiat iustitia et pereat mundus.

“It is important to keep in mind that our bodies must work pretty well, or their wouldn't be so many humans on the planet.”
