A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

O, how wretchedIs that poor man that hangs on princes' favors!There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to,That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,More pangs and fears than wars and women have;And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,Never to hope again.

So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolderThan you used to be.So you used to shake 'em down,But now you stop and think about your dignity.So now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one,You get to feelin' weary when the work days done.Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks.If you're in a fix.Come back baby,Rock and roll never forgets.

But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweetLessen like sound of friends’ departing feet;And Death is beautiful as feet of friendComing with welcome at our journey’s end.For me Fate gave, whate’er she else denied,A nature sloping to the southern side;I thank her for it, though when clouds ariseSuch natures double-darken gloomy skies.
James Russell Lowell

Having someone apologize for no reason actually makes me feel as though I should apologize for their need to apologize.
Rachel Nichols
