People who send us suitable aphorisms receive a valuable chevron >^<.

The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves. Logan Pearsall Smith

Historic continuity with the past is not a duty, it is only a necessity. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

How these authors magnify their office! One dishonest plumber does more harm than a hundred poetasters. Augustine Birrell

The Viridian Ranking System has been hand-created with a vintage fountain pen and fine art paper. Scars, flaws, and imperfections add character and are an inherent part of the product.
