the incandescent electric light bulb. Don’t

worry if you fail once."

Human family

"I note the obvious differences

in the human family.

Some of us are serious,

some thrive on comedy.

Some declare their lives are lived

as true profundity,

and others claim they really live

the real reality.

The variety of our skin tones

can confuse, bemuse, delight,

brown and pink and beige and purple,

tan and blue and white.

I've sailed upon the seven seas

and stopped in every land,

I've seen the wonders of the world

not yet one common man.

I know ten thousand women

called Jane and Mary Jane,

but I've not seen any two

who really were the same.

Mirror twins are different

although their features jibe,

and lovers think quite different

thoughts while lying side by side.

We love and lose in China,

we weep on England's moors,

and laugh and moan in Guinea,

and thrive on Spanish shores.

We seek success in Finland,

are born and die in Maine.

In minor ways we differ,

in major we're the same.

I note the obvious differences

between each sort and type,

but we are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike."

the nothingness of everything that is

comprehensible to me, and the greatness

of something incomprehensible but all

important!”

Life has me trapped

“Life has me trapped in a cocoon of

earth where I must grow and change

until the day I sprout wings. And on

that day I shall burst free, no longer

marooned on a pebble of dust in a

universe that only waits for me to

find a means to fly.”

War and Peace

convictions there would be no war.”
