tell unkind stories,
above all, never tell long ones.

me the way it used to.
I just get ready for the next play, the
next game, the next season.

a person sees when
he takes his eyes off his goal.

will be the character of your mind; for the
soul
is dyed by the thoughts.

your life, is by taking notes. The easiest

to give out love, and to let it come in
