&quot;Being well-dressed is not a matter of having expensive clothes or the &#039;right clothes. I don&#039;t care if you&#039;re wearing rags, but they must suit you.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Louise Nelson

There is no tear to drown the world
There is no scream to leave the day
Only peril and the struggle to live for one more precious day
Only toil and suffering
fulfill the work of the living man
And always the soil,that is not tilled,
is left to the rough of hand
