" I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of it's heros, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."
~Helen Keller
"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing or good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
~John W. Gardner
