"Life is in short cycles or periods; we……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Life is in short cycles or periods; we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate; he will not lift his hand to save his life; he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
