• I'm the next act
  Waiting in the wings
  
  I'm an animal
  Trapped in your hot car
  
  I am all of the days
  That you choose to ignore
  
  You are all I need
  You are all I need
  I'm in the middle of your picture
  Lying in the reeds.

  Thom Yorke

• Be assured that every man's success is in proportion to his average ability. The meadow flowers spring and bloom where the watersannually deposit their slime, not where they reach in some freshet only. A man is not his hope, nor his despair, nor yet his past deed. We know not yet what we have done, still less what we are doing. Wait till evening, and other parts of our day's work will shine than we had thought at noon, and we shall discover the real purport of our toil. As when the farmer has reached the end of the furrow and looks back, he can tell best where the pressed earth shines most.
