To know the character of a community,
I need only visit its cemeteries.

​To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the Common Good
1 Corinthians 12:7


​It is not ours to begin but the hard task to carry on faithfully what they began, and while we today pledge ourselves anew that the great work shall still go on, that no measures of our fathers’ work or hope shall fail.
 
Let us not forget our local trusts and duties. Let it not be said of us that we let the shadow of time go backward, or that we were even willing to leave our heritage as we found it, unmarked by our labors and our triumphs.


John D. Barrow



Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the ​tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals.
​
Sir William Ewart Gladstone

The labyrinthine tangles of life’s ways
Are with fresh lamentation threaded through,
With kind folk brought to mind who of fair light
Were robbed by Fate and vanished from my sight.

 
Faust, Goethe

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, by Robert Herrick
Sacred Duty: A Soldier's Tour at Arlington National Cemetery, by Senator Tom Cotton
September 1, 1939, by W. H. Auden
Telling the Bees, by John Greenleaf Whittier
Centennial Address, by John D. Barrow

​Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in,
where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.

​John Muir
