Over such foolish folly contending,
Tis it glory or avarice descending?
And you can babble 'bout Babel
But 'tis all fiddle faddle
For the things here unseen, you're inventing.

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don&#039;t worry be happy! :)
