"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the
shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then
listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
Shel Silverstein
"Child, you are a part of this world. Water will quench your thirst, Air will fill your lungs. Earth will guide your steps, and Fire will warm you in winter's chill. All these are yours by right of birth, the right of every son and daughter born."
"May you kindle Fire and never be burned by it. May the Air never send storms across your path. May that path across the Earth be a gentle one, and may the Water of your tears always taste sweet with joy.
