The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

I'm writing an article and I have a quote of someone saying they love the song, Proud To Be An American. So, "I love the song, 'Proud To Be An American....'" But that's a lyric and the actual song title is God Bless the U.S.A. Do I leave the original quote alone (and do I put quotes around it?) or do I change the quote?

Can any one beat this:
'The trumpet sounded,
The Angel said 'come'.
The Pearly gates opened
And in walked Mum.

I think it's a reference to Neverland, but:
What does the second star symbolize?
What does it lead to or refer to?
What significance would it have to a person other than Peter Pan (as in a real person)?
If anyone knows the full quote, or at least a longer version, please post it.

I have seen this phrase in reference to Apple, a politician was accused of being sexist when using it, and many businesses use it in their daily vernacular. I have done my best to find the true origin, but have come up short. Anyone know who originally said this?

My aunts ex-boyfriend is pretty much stalking her. He calls her non stop and she never answers the phone so he leaves crazy messages. Then she can play them back to the cops. A few weeks ago, before she left on a trip out of town, he smashed her water/well equiptment at her house, or atleast we're 100% positve it was him. Then a few days later (when she was still out of town) her house was burnt down. We all know he did it but the cops need the evidence to put him at the scene of the crime. SO, still after her house is burnt down he is still calling her and leaving weird messages. The one that my question is about, he said something like (we couldnt hear it real well) "The riches of (your?) foes bring forth blood." or something like that. On the message he said "it means that God doesn't want you, me or anyone else to be used as a door mat." Is this even a bible quote and what DOES it really mean??

I know I didn't invent this, though I'd be proud to be the author , BUT - I can't find a reference anywhere. Please help? Oh, by the way, www.wikiquotes.com is not an answer. That site is all about estimating and quoting for commercial jobs. Sorry ;)
Also, forget about Penguin Dictionary of Quotations; I've checked all the keywords: zilch. :(

here's the poem first:

LONELINESS

A hawk hovers in air.
Two white gulls float on the stream.
Soaring with the wind, it is easy
To drop and seize
Birds who foolishly drift with the current.
Where the dew sparkles in the grass,
The spider's web waits for its prey.
The processes of nature resemble the business of men.
I stand alone with ten thousand sorrows.


What is your explanation for the line:
" The processes of nature resemble the business of men"

thanks! tc always :D
