Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The pine stays green in winter...wisdom in hardship. True friendship is not measured in days or decades. The old age of an eagle is better than the youth of a sparrow. The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey. The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water. He who is well prepared has half won the battle. The first breath is the beginning of death. If you trust before you try, you may repent before you die. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. |
