After all the beauty we can learn.
When handsome soul man –


A peck of salt eaten, the higher value honey.
Who shed tears, the genuine laughs.

Other — green foliage ligature, spring and the sky is blue.

We are a repository of filth, and pure spring.
People, as in a mirror, the world is multifaceted.

A stranger like trying, sometimes from the middle run.
To raise those who are not necessary, but most faithful betray.

I never meet with friends at the table.
Catch every flying moment

the dawn always comes sunset.

Than the fever of the soul "someone" to give.
The priceless gift of giving to anybody,

If eternal life is still not to buy?
This life gave you, my dear, in time

And next to bed, not to sleep.
Do not take revenge, does not mean it's simple.
Not close to be does not mean not to love. ========================================================================12) That wisely a life to live, ought to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember the beginning:
You better starve than horrible there,
And better be alone than with just anyone. 13) You can seduce a man who has a wife, you can seduce a man who has a mistress, but you cannot seduce a man who has a beloved woman. 14) Do no evil — will return like a boomerang
Do not spit into the well, to drink water,
Do not insult someone who rank below,
And suddenly I have something to ask.
Do not betray friends, they can not replace,
And don't lose your loved ones — will not return
Do not lie to yourself — with time to test
What this lie yourself you betray.
