Just like a philosopher can never throw away his stone, the poet can never toss his pen out the window
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso
there once was a buzzing bee
who a bee did not want to be
for he disliked being busy
and just wanted to be lazy
so from his hive he did flee.

Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There once was a silly chili cheddar cheese
Who in his moldy state said to the merry mouse
“Please do not feast upon my flesh
For it is moldy and not fresh.
Lest you want to enter heavens house.”

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama
Once, in a small village there lived a man named Shaun.
That always awoke, early before the dawn.
So he could catch worms like an early bird.
Without anyone spying and thinking him absurd.
For eating worms before he began to yawn.

Struggle is a part of life. Learning to struggle well is a reward in itself.
Zat Rana
Once upon a time. A youth in his prime
Lived in a city so divine. That he--
Grew to be bored and became bold--
Enough to rob a boy, not even a year old--
Of his toys. Yet failed in committing such an easy crime.

There once was a man named Lazarus
That did nothing but sit on his ass
Till one day; just before he sat
His mother put a pin on his mat
That sent pain through his bottom so he couldn't sit in class.

Your attention is the most important asset you have. Be deliberate with it.
There once was a man from Windhoek
That had never read a book
Till in the library he set foot
With his unusually big feet.
He left, unable to stand the librarians odd look.
A generous man forgets what he gives and remembers what he receives.
Old Proverb
Ellen Melvin had a problem with his left ear
Which left him unable to hear
Whenever he was near his hearts desire.
This led to the rise of his ire
So he cut it off to have one good ear.
Nothing will work unless you do.
John Wooden
