“Birth after birth the line unchanging runs,
And fathers live transmitted in their sons;
Each passing year beholds the unvarying kinds,

And insect-shoals successive pass away,
Increasing wants the pregnant parent vex
With the fond wish to form a softer sex. ..”

“Is love stronger when it let's go or when it holds on?”

“Don't waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on.”
