He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of armor that none can pierce. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet (27 Feb 1807-1882)

My score was not too bad for this one. It is one of my specialties. POM

Wish not so much to live long as to live well. -- Benjamin Franklin

“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.” Kahlil Gibran

We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective. -- Dwight Eisenhower-The 34th President of the United States.

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”

Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
