Unless you know what is real-what is a real friendship and relationship-neither can have an effect on you.

But storms, though grand, must sink if the sea is to show the stars.

Awards are very politically based.

It makes a new man in a new world. It extends to the whole man, to the mind, to the members, to the motions of the whole life.

The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fells like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. -from The Hobbit (Dwarves Battle Song)

Jimmy CarterThe simplicity of winter has a deep moral.
