| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be."
"I am not what I am." "A minute's success pays the failure of years." "The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made." "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?" "The greatest gift of God is a good friend." "The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away." "Life is a series of surprises." "So, I am no longer a poet, but a poet's poet." "The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind." |
