rise

Brother Eagle

Who's sight is keen and talons sharp,

Help me spot the prey and hit the mark

Help me rise above my  human life

and trust the winds that give me flight.

And when its time for the young to leave

A gentle nudge is all they need

From up above the view is clear

I must have Faith and have no Fear.

Marianne Goldweber

It is the conduct of any man to struggle and fall; it is the conduct of great men to rise and soar.

It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him.

It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
