On Achievement ~

"Man's nature, his passions and anxieties, are a cultural product, as a matter of fact, man himself is the most important creation and achievement of the continuous human effort, the record of what we call history."
~ Eric Fromm (1900 - 1980)

"The splendid achievements of the intellect, like the soul, are everlasting."
~ Sallust (86 - 34 B.C.)

"Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait."
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
