From Emerson's Essays, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

For no man can write anything who does not think that what he writes
is for the time the history of the world; or do anything well who does
not esteem his work to be of importance.  My work may be of none, but
I must not think it of none, or I shall not do it with impunity.
		-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Nature", p. 293
