World Advice to men before you fall in love!

Cyrano de Bergerac

by Edmond Rostand

“She is a mortal danger to all men. She is beautiful without knowing it, and possesses charms that she’s not even aware of. She is like a trap set by nature – a sweet perfumed rose in whose petals Cupid lurks in ambush! Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She instills grace in every common thing and divinity in every careless gesture. Venus in her shell was never so lovely, and Diana in the forest never so graceful as my Lady when she strides through Paris!”

Tolkien gives us life advice

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

J.R.R. Tolkien from the book,  The Fellowship of the Ring

Classic novels give us life lessons! Here’s one to chew on.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

—Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
