"You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues and you know it don't come easy" Ringo Starr
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." Nelson Mandella
"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." Nelson Mandella
Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in vain.

To A Thinker, by Robert Frost
The last step taken found your heft Decidedly upon the left. One more would throw you on the right Another still---you see your plight. You call this thinking, but it's walking. Not even that, it's only rocking, Or weaving like a stabled horse: From force to matter and back to force, From form to content and back to form, From norm to crazy and back to norm, From bound to free and back to bound, From sound to sense and back to sound. So back and forth. It almost scares A man the way things come in pairs. Just now you're off democracy (With a polite regret to be) And leaning on dictatorship; But if you will accept the tip, In less than no time, tongue and pen, You'll be a democrat again. A reasoner and good as such, Don't let it bother you too much If it makes you look helpless, please, And a temptation to the tease. Suppose you've no direction in you, I don't see but you must continue To use the gift you do possess, And sway with reason more or less. I own I never really warmed To the reformer or reformed. And yet conversion has its place Not halfway down the scale of grace. So if you find you must repent From side to side in argument, At least don't use your mind too hard, But trust my instinct---I'm a bard.
