Pearls without a necklace

Some stuff I came across:
---------------------------------------------------------------
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Growing old is mandatory, growing wise is optional
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cynicism is the smoke that rises from the ashes of burned out dreams

---------------------------------------------------------------
May you always have love to share,
Health to spare,
And friends that care.
