No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.

I am being bombed by questions of all kinds. i will try to be very concise and try to explain to the american people. we had a great number of mistakes in the economic fleld, naturally. i am not the critic. it is fidel castro, the one who has criticized repeatedly the mistakes we have made, and he explained why we have made them. we did not have a previous preparation. we made mistakes in agriculture. we made mistakes in industry. all these mistakes are being settled now.

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
Hope Morning Fear
Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.

Really it's all about what's inside the superman suit. how you feel about yourself when you put that on because it's very revealing and very imposing if worn with confidence, i suppose. the first time i wore it, i didn't have that as much. i hadn't really trained any, yet. i hadn't read the script, i hadn't really worked on the character at that point. and i was standing around with a room full of costume designers and everybody was judging me right away and going, "don't make your judgment on it, if this is superman quite yet or not," because i hadn't done all the work that i would later do.
Character Judging Done
Someone once told me not to be afraid of being afraid, because, as she said, 'anxiety is a glimpse of your own daring.' isn't that great? it means that part of your agitation is just excitement about what you're getting ready to accomplish. don't sell yourself short by being so afraid of failure that you don't dare to make any mistakes. make your mistakes and learn from them. and remember: no matter how many mistakes you make, your mother always loves you!

When people say money doesn't matter, it sure as hell does when you're able to show your mother a beach house and then hand her the keys to it. that was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Today, whether it is a student who holds a sit-in to get the army recruiters off his campus, or the mother of a dead soldier who refuses to leave the front gate of the president's ranch, we continue to be saved by brave people who risk ridicule and rejection but end up turning huge tides of public opinion in the direction of righteousness. we owe them enormous debts of gratitude. it is not easy to stand up for what is right, especially when everyone else is afraid to leave the comfortable path of conformity.
Mother Gratitude Army
Auntie phyl's last months in the care home were extra pieces. age is unnecessary. some of us, like my mother, are fortunate enough to die swiftly and suddenly, in full possession of our faculties and our fate, but more and more of us will be condemned to linger, at the mercy of anxious or indifferent relatives, careless strangers, unwanted medical interventions, increasing debility, incontinence, memory loss. we live too long, but, like the sibyl hanging in her basket in the cave at cumae, we find it hard to die.
