If you’re a bird, be an early early bird--
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.”
Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Euripides
“Do not mistake the rule of force
for true power. Men are not shaped by force.”
Euripides, The Bacchae

“You probably wouldn’t worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do.”
Olin Miller

Why do you sigh when I splash through a puddle?
Why do you scream when I do what I did?
Im a kid.”
Shel Silverstein, Falling Up
