3. I am standing upon the seashore.A ship at my side spreads her white sails tothe morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.She is an object of beauty and strength,And I stand and watch until at last she hangslike a speck of white cloud just where the sea andsky come down to mingle with each other.Then someone at my side says,"There she goes."Gone where?Gone from my sight...that's all.She is just as large in mast and hull and sparas she was when she left my side.And just as able to bear her load of livingfreight to the place of destination.Her diminished size is in me, not her.And just at the moment when some at myside says,"There she goes!"There are others eyes watching her comingand other voices ready to take up the glad shout,"Here she comes!"
4. “Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.”
5. "Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love
Time is not."
6. “Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.”
