Are you driven to be the best player you can be?

And that's not normal.

Everybody thinks its normal,

But it's not normal.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. 

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's 

initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them,

What they could and should do for themselves.

081219 The 12th of Never

The Twelfth Of Never

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh, my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme
 
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time

- Paul Francis Webster / Jerry Livingston 

Based on the 16th Century English folk song

 "The Riddle Song - I Gave My Love A Cherry"
