All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
====================================
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and fret his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
====================================
Chains do not hold a marriage together.
It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads
Which sew people together
Through the years.
That is what makes a marriage last -
More than passion or even sex!
====================================
Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow...
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
====================================
Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve.
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.
====================================
