Robert Frost: Confidence Quotations
You are educated when you have the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or self-confidence.

Oscar Wilde
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand

 a single word of what I am saying.

Groucho Marx
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Friedrich Nietzsche
A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love. The Echoing Green

Poem lyrics of The Echoing Green by William Blake.

The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bell's cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green.

Old John with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say:
"Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green."

Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brother,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sport no more seen
On the darkening Green.

Elizabeth Kenny: Control Quotes
He who angers you conquers you.

Jack Welsh: Control Quotes
Control your destiny or somebody else will.

Ballad of East and West, Kipling Quotes
Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet
Till earth and sky stand presently at God's great

judgment seat;
But there is neither East nor West, border nor breed nor birth
When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from

the ends of the earth!
