What can I write when U are in my heart"
"But being poor have only my dreams,
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Walk softly for you are walking on my dreams"
"A good teacher is one
who makes himself progressively unnecessary"
"It is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like a song,
But the man worthwhile is the one,
Who will smile when everything goes dead wrong"
"If it wasn't for the rocks beneath,
the stream would have no music"
If any little word of mine,
May make a life the brighter,
If any little song of mine,
May make a heart the lighter,
God help me speak the little word,
And take my bit of singing,
And drop it in some lonely vale,
To set the echoes ringing"

Let it go free,
If it comes back to you,
It is yours forever,
If it doesn't,
It was never yours to begin with"

But the love in my heart shall never decay"
"It's a rare person who doesn't get discouraged, whether
it happens to us or an associate we are trying to cheer up.

Keeping together is progress,
Working together is success" - Henry Ford
"May you fly, may you soar, may you dream the impossible
dream,
.... And then, having dreamt, may you have the courage
to live your dream"
"Your kindness may be treated as your weakness - still
be kind,
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow -
still do good,
Your help to others may be unheeded and unnoticed
- still be helpful,
If you are successful you win false friends and true
enemies - still succeed,
Honesty and frankness makes you vulnerable -
still be frank and honest,
Your forthrightness may be termed as high handedness
or insubordination - still be forthright,
Virtues and values of life may mean little for people
- still be virtuous,
Your faith in God and love for humanity may be taken
as orthodoxy and foolishness - still have faith in God"
"From across the miles no eyes will see me weep,
But in my aching heart your loving memory i keep,
Till this day, wishing you the world's best is all
that i seek"
"Our life is like a fairy tale romance,
You are the fairy, our love is the tale and the rest
is pure romance'
