“I am a warrior, so that my son may be a merchant, so that his son may be a poet.”—John Quincy Adams

And also:

“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.“
— “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,“ William Butler Yeats
