"As old Hamlet said, 'the readiness is all.' I think Iím pretty ready." He laughed. "I feel strongly that Oliver Wendell Holmes was right. Not to share in the activity and passion of your time is to count as not having lived. I donít claim virtue. I claim a low level of boredom."
--Yale's Rev. William Sloane Coffin
there's a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he
leaves, what is't to leave betimes?
--Hamlet, V:II
