The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how much we want something.
The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough
They’re there to stop the other people....

A traveler on the dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade, at evening time,
To breathe his early vows;
And age was pleased, in heats of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs;...

Closed eyes can't see the white roses,
Cold hands can't hold them, you know;
Breath that is stilled cannot gather
The odors that sweet from them blow.
Death, with a peace beyond dreaming,
Its children of earth doth endow;
Life is the time we can...

Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro’ the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
’Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gaz’d awhile
On her cold smile;
Too...

Everyone has biases, whether we realize it or not. It’s just a part of human nature, a result of our upbringing, education, experiences and beliefs. All of these shape our own personal view of the world. And with it comes some things that we are...

And they’re the ones that are going to make the decisions, and they’re the ones that are going to make it one way or the other.
Usually adolescence is a...

What would have become of Hercules if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar, and no savage criminals to rid the world of?
What would he have done in the absence of such challenges?
Obviously he would have just rolled over in bed and gone...

Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat.
His lungs breathe their final breath.
And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others,
And makes them believe deeper, in something larger than life…
Then his...

Imagine if we could harness the power of our Sun. In order for us to expand our presence in space, we would need lots and lots of energy. What source is better than our very own star? The Sun produces 100 quintillion times more power than our most...

When all the sky is very black
And all the earth is blue,
And all the fiends are on your track
And howling after you;
When courage falls and hope decays
And fair ambition dies,
And all your dreamland is ablaze
Beneath the ebon skies;
When you...

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And...

A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.
And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.
He glanced with rapid eyes
