All architects of fate, working in these walls of time; some with massive deeds and great, some with ornaments of rhyme. For the structure that we raise time is with materials filled; our today's and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build. Build today, then, strong and sure, with a firm and ample base; and ascending and secure shall tomorrow find its place.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807 - 1882
