Words
Every word was once a poem.
~ ~ ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought,
and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.
~ ~ ~Oliver
Wendell Holmes

Time
Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
- - - Margaret Bonnano
If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400, that carried over
no balance from day to day, and allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and every evening cancelled whatever part of
the amount you had failed to use during the day, what would you do? Draw out every cent of course!
Well, you do have such
a bank, and it's name is "time." Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off, as lost, whatever
of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
If you fail to use the day's deposits the loss is yours.

Dreams - A microscope through which we look at the hidden occurrences in our soul.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their
minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream
with open eyes, to make it possible.

not?"
