Gaily bedight
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old,
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength,
Failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow,"said he,
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the mountains
Of the moon,
Over the Valley of the Shadow.
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shadow replied
"If you seek for Eldorado."
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
The only way to preserve your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
Twenty years from now you will be more dissapointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain
For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
And redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
You will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
-Audrey Hepburn
