Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

William Shakespeare

Toys tossed on the floor Hand prints on the wallSlamming of the doorAnd footsteps down the hallBoxes made into towersCovers turned into tentsVoices get a lil' louderGuide lines get a lil' bentBoxes now go untouchedCovers in a folded pileSilence never was so muchGuide lines never been n' awhileDid we waste our time a wayWe once had back thenNever taking time to playTo 'oft we walked right past themNow they're grown and gone The house stands still and neatOnly memories left to carry onOh, how our hearts do often weepWould we change time if we could?Would we play a bigger part?Did we get too wrapped up in the world?For now we're left with justMemories of the heart.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Corrie Ten Boom

He makes me laugh, Mick! He tended to turn up when we were having lunch and entertain us all. He bought an Enigma machine! I've never worked with a producer who was more famous than everyone put together.

Saffron Burrows

The idle always have a mind to do something.

Marquis De Vauvenargues

He that speaks much, is much mistaken.

Benjamin Franklin
