Answer 1

This is my personal favorite poem:

The Duel
(The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat
by Eugene Field
The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
'Twas half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat.
(I wasn't there; I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)

The gingham dog went " Bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied "Me-ow!"
The air was littered,an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney place
Up with it hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind: I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)

The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And wailed,"Oh dear! What shall we do!"
But the gingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfullest way you ever saw-
And oh! how the gingham and calico flew!
(Don't fancy I exaggerate!
I got my news from the Chinese plate!)

Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole the pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: they ate each other up!
Now what do you really think of that!
(The old Dutch clock, it told me so,
And that is how I came to know.)

Answer 2

Please choose from the few below:-

"No one is guaranteed happiness. Life just gives each person time and space. It's up to us to fill it with peace and joy."
"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice." (old Indian saying)
"Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so." (Shakespeare)
"Two stone cutters were asked what they were doing. One said:"I am cutting stones into blocks." The other said: "I'm on a team that's building cathedrals." "
"When the one great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks, not that you won or lost, but how you played the game" (Grantland Rice)
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." (Mark Twain)
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much."
"When you can't change the wind direction, adjust your sails."
"Almost all our unhappiness is the result of comparing ourselves to others."
"One of God's greatest miracles is to enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things."

(PS: Sincere best wishes for healing and better health, and for the best things to happen, whatever be the best under the circumstances. I recommend some simple poems by Wordsworth, Christina Rossetti and Tennyson, apart from some excellent passages from Bible (whatever be your religion))
