Unfortunate is he who cannot gain a few sincere friends during his life and more unfortunate is the one who has gained them and then lost them (through his deeds).
Make one heap of all yer winningz....
and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss....
then if you lose... u start again at yer beginningz....
and never breathe a word abt yer los...
"Where"er a noble deed is wrought,
Where"er is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts in glad surprise
To higher levels rise."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
