[font:Book Antiqua]Diz sagent uns die wsen,
Ein nagel behalt ein sen,
Ein sen ein ros, ein ros ein man,
Ein man ein burc, der strten kan,
Ein burc daz lant betwinget,
Daz ez nch hulden dinget.
Der nagel, der ist wol bewant,
Der isen, ros, man, burc und lant.
Solcher ern geholfen hat,
Da von sin name so hohe stt.

Bescheidenheit[/font]
[font:Century Gothic]So say the wise,
A nail keeps a shoe,
A shoe a horse, a horse a man,
A man a fortress, if he can fight.
A fortress can compel the land
To sue for mercy.
The nail therefore is well spent,
Which helped the shoe, horse, man,
Fortress and land.
Its name should stand high. [/font]

this one hits the nail on the head.
sometimes i feel powerless and insignificant.
as if my efforts are wasted.
sometimes, the results are simply too huge to be comprehended, too remote to be registered, too obscure to be noticed, or too distant to be connected.
i may not reap the crop,
nor harvest the fruits,
but i will not stop
sowing seeds or growing roots.
