I know I already have one for today, but I was reminded tonight of one of my all time favorite novels...

"In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the
boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is
where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young
falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman."

-- Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

So I honored her offer

"The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true. They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body."

-John Adams

Okay, I'm going to cheat and post a couple more by Adams because I love them...

"It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do."

"The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality."

"I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind." -- George Bernard Shaw

"Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house - in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up."

Arthur Miller 1915-2005 (from The Ride Down Mount Morgan)
