Black. Friday.

Look not mournfully into the past.

It comes not back again.

Wisely improve the present.

 It is thine.

 Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

John Quincy Adams

Beauty is not caused. It is.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller

YOUth.

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.
--Kahlil Gibran
