Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

CARPE DIEM

As the coffee was brewing
I learned from a book
That the trunks of elephants
Are sensitive enough
To pick up a coin,
And powerful enough to smash
A tiger to the ground.

And that is more than enough
Seizing for the day.

Billy Collins
