Then on! then on! where duty leads,My course be onward still.

With drooping bells of clearest blue Thou didst attract my childish view, Almost resembling The azure butterflies that flew Where on the heath thy blossoms grew So lightly trembling.

Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.

No hammers fell, no ponderous axes rung,Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung.Majestic silence.

By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the lily grows!

Eternity has no gray hairs! The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of Eternity.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid. Star of the east the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone.

Death rides on every passing breeze, He lurks in every flower.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.

Thus heavenly hope is all serene,But earthly hope, how bright soe'er,Still fluctuates o'er this changing scene,As false and fleeting as 't is fair.

Just like the cosmonauts and their pee plants, all we have is each other.

There's so much I want to do as an actor. I feel like there's so much more that I want to achieve and that I can achieve.

You cannot be the good all the time — sometimes it is necessary to get angry. [Vincent Van Gogh]

I write every day as a matter of course It is not a burden. It is the way I live.

It doesn't matter what else is going on. When you walk into your arena or your - whatever you excel at, you're there to take care of the job that you have to do.

If you are curious, you will learn. If you are desperate, you will discover.

No matter how difficult the situation is, it won't last forever. What follows the night is the day. What follows the winter is the spring.
