wrong.
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
I
would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brillant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot; I would rather be in
a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and
permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall
not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my time.
Jack
London

Some
people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to
dance. They awaken us to the understanding with the passing whisper of their
wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our
lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the
same.
Unknown
Our
greatest glory consists not of never falling, but in rising every time we
fall.

not follow where the path leads. Rather, go where there is no path,
and
leave a trail.

of
their dreams.
