"I have learned two important lessons from my association with the Marine Corps: always be on time and always be ready to do what is required when you get there."

Each new year is a surprise to us. We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence. How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening, reminiscences of our sanest hours. The voice of nature is always encouraging.

— Henry David Thoreau
