Some of my favourite quotes. (And other random bits of wisdom.)

William Shakespeare

Jeremiah 29:11

"Seek the wisdom of ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child."

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird. It would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present and you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."
C.S Lewis

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae

All's fair in love and war.
Proverb

A book tightly shut is but a block of paper.
