Tis Nature's Law.

Of man or his God


it does not matter; 


all that he may boast,


or banter;


I must always choose,


the latter.


Nature.


Tis Nature's law that 


I observe.


Tis Nature's Law that


you must serve.


Nature.

HAVE HEART, DON'T GIVE IN-Al (Alex-Alexander) D. Girvan.

When something bad happens, you have but choices three:

you may let it define you, you may let it destroy you;

or you can let it strengthen thee.

So don’t give in.
If you're up against a hard one and you're getting knocked about--
Have Heart.
If you're feelin kinda dizzy, and you're licked beyond a doubt--
Have heart.
Don't let them know you're slippin, let them know you're still about--
Have heart.
Don't just stand and take you're lickin; until it knocks you out--
Have Heart
This life's a bloomin battle, and this advice holds true--
Have Heart.
If your futures kinda cloudy, don't let people see you're blue;
Just cultivate a cast iron smile to hold the whole day through;
If they call you Mr Sunshine, wish They'd no troubles too--
Have Heart.
Rise up in the morning with the will that smooth or rough,
You'll Have Heart.
Sink to sleep at midnight, and though you're feelin rough,
Have heart. Don't you give in.
--Al (Alex-Alexander) D. Girvan

QUOTES OF MARK (SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS) TWAIN, (1835-1910)

MARK (SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS) TWAIN

• Always tell the truth; then you don't have to remember anything.
• When in doubt, tell the truth.
•  In the United States of America, truth is more of a stranger than fiction.
•  Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction after all, has to make sense.
•  A good lie will have travelled half way around the world while the truth is putting on her boots. 
• There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
•  You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.
•  I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.
•  Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, ... it doesn't matter.
•  A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words in a book or a newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt. 
• The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
•  Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work.
•  When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat.
•  We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
•  The jury system puts a ban upon intelligence and honesty and a premium upon ignorance, stupidity and perjury.
•  We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any other in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding 12 everyday men who don't know anything and can't read.
•  No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
• Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

LET US SO LIVE

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

Mark (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) Twain (1835-1910)
