[風雨者 10]

of the people,by the people,for the people

by Abraham lincoln the 16st president of United States

[spacedunce-5 10]

You mean this?

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth

on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and

dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing

whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so

dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-

field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of

that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave

their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether

fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot

consecrate…we cannot hallow…this ground. The brave men,

living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it

far above our poor power to add or detract. The world

will little note nor long remember what we say here, but

it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the

living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished

work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly

advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the

great task remaining before us…that from these honored

dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which

they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here

highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;

that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of

freedom; and that government of the people, by the people,

for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

[Richtu 10]

Time waits for no one.

That is my favorite proverb.

It is from a cartoon.

I like it very much.

So I made a poster of the proverb in my classroom.

But I made a big mistake.

I didn't notice that the color of the words was unclear.

After I finished it, my classmate said it looked really like "Tina waits for no man."= =""

Pigs can fly.

[Richtu 10]

"Pigs can fly" is correct

"Pigs may fly" sounds like they actually do fly....

[coolshirl 10]

[Ice Cream Cat 10]

Nothing is impossible

Never say never

Emotion shows weakness, weakness cause failures

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smiles

Silence is golden, talking is diamondXD

Dont be sad because it's over, smile because it happened

The more able you are, the more accountable you have to be

To the world you may be a person, but to a person you may be the world

There's a "lie" in the word "believe"

Everything is not what people say, it's what you believe and think

something like this, but in a better verbal structure)
