Last night I heard a robin singing in the rain, And the raindrop’s patter made a sweet refrain, Making all the sweeter the music of the strain. So, I thought, when trouble comes, as trouble will, Why should I stop singing? Just beyond the hill It may be that sunshine floods the green world still. He who faces the trouble with a heart of cheer Makes the burden lighter. If there falls a tear, Sweeter is the cadence in the song we hear. I have learned your lesson, bird with spotted wing, Listening to your music with its tune of spring — When the storm cloud darkens, it’s the TIME to sing.

ان يكرهك الناس لصراحتك …..خير لك من ان يحبوك لنفاقك
If people hate you for your candour, it’s better than them loving you for your hypocrisy.”
Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.” — Winston Churchill
