THESE ARE SIMPLY QUOTATIONS OR POEMS ON DIFFERENT
ASPECTS OF LIFE I FIND INTERESTING, SEE IF YOU DO TOO

“Do not be concerned that you have no position, be concerned that you have what it takes to merit a position. Do not be concerned that no one recognises you, seek that which is worthy of recognition.”  Confucius

Here a few, there a few,
the drunkards all show up,
the worshipers of wine one by one turn up
