What's better than good?


Aim above morality. Be not simply good;

be good for something.

Affect the quality of your day!



"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, 
or to carve a statue, 
and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium 
through which we look, which morally we can do. 
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

~ Henry David Thoreau
