Too much work and too much energy kill a man just as effectively as too much assorted vice or too much drink.

Rudyard Kipling

There are gems of wondrous brightness Often times lying at our feet, And we pass them, walking thoughtless, Down the busy, crowded street. If we knew, our pace would slacken, We would step more oft with care, Lest our careless feet be treading To the earth some jewel rare.
