"Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose."
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Longfellow wrote these lines in The Village Blacksmith (1840), watching an honest craftsman work from dawn to dusk. The poem isn't about grand heroics — it's about the quiet dignity of showing up, doing the work, and resting with a clear conscience.
Six words carry the whole philosophy: something attempted, something done. Not perfection. Not a finished masterpiece. Just the honest effort of one day, complete in itself.
On a Saturday morning, that's enough.
