"It's greater to elasticity than to have." You were probably schooled that once you were a teenage juvenile. My mother said that to us my complete existence.

When I hear that, I am reminded of the fairy tale of the society who send very good gifts to the communion table - gold, silver, and another affluence - in an go to create the house of worship doorbell round. But all these funds are not able to unbroken the chimes. Then a kid - overlooked by the fold - kindly and mildly walks up to the table and offers as his endowment his individual subunit. At that moment, the carillon ring out.
