Relationships and Family
Rudyard Kipling
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, 2 Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.
Walter Scott
Heap on more wood!—the wind is chill; But let it whistle as it will, We’ll keep our Christmas merry still.
Robert Burns
He turn’d him right and round about Upon the Irish shore; And gae his bridle reins a shake, With adieu forevermore, And adieu forevermore!
John Gay
Man may escape from rope and gun; Nay, some have outliv’d the doctor’s pill: Who takes a woman must be undone, That basilisk is sure to kill. The fly that sips treacle is lost in the sweets, So he that tastes woman, woman, woman, He that tastes woman, ruin meets.
John Donne
So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.
John Donne
So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.
William Shakespeare
Time is like a fashionable host, That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, And with his arms outstretch’d, as he would fly, Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles, And farewell goes out sighing.
William Shakespeare
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet an union in partition; Two lovely berries molded on one stem.

Mark Twain
I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure.
Mark Twain
When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
