“I stepped from Plank to Plank
So slow and cautiously
The Stars about my Head I felt,
About my Feet the Sea.

I knew not but the next
Would be my final inch —
This gave me that precarious Gait
Some call Experience.”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Spend your money on the things money can buy. Spend your time on the things money can’t buy.”

“A great hope fell
You heard no noise
The ruin was within.”
