en All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en A lot can happen in a week - just read any Bible, ... On the seventh day, Election Day, unlike the Bible, we can't rest.

en Both read the Bible day and night, But thou read'st black where I read white
  William Blake
