I had a little sorrow, Born of a little sin.
Virtue extends our days: he lives two lives who relives his past with pleasure.
Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well.
Wine and women bring misery.
Tomorrow's life is too late. Live today.

Believing hear, what you deserve to hear: Your birthday as my own to me is dear. . . But yours gives most; for mine did only lend Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend.
The young love and cherish people and places from which they receive the skills and the emotional support which enable them to make it in the world or to meet their basic human needs. The same people and places are often the first recipients of the frustration and anger--violence, vandalism, disrespect--of young people who are not making it well in the world. I suspect that this is the reason that personal and school property violence is increasing more rapidly than school burglary and dropout rates.

These people should not be treated as criminals.
