Algunos dicen que las últimas palabras de Lord Byron fueron "he tenido días peores". Seguramente esta historia no es cierta, pero siempre pienso en esa cita cuando las cosas van mal.

Some people say Lord Byron's last words were "I've had worse days". Probably that story is not true, but I always think of that quote when things go wrong.

El soñar el sueño imposible ...

Pelear ... el enemigo invencible ... Para llevar ... con el dolor insoportable ... Para correr ... donde los valientes no se atreven a ir ...

Hacer el bien ... al imposible mal.. El amor ... puro y casto de lejos ... Para tratar de ... cuando tienes los brazos demasiado cansados ...

Este es mi deseo de seguir la estrella No importa como desesperado, no importa que lejos

Alcanzar... la estrella inalcanzable..

en íngles Sí -------------------------------------------------------

To dream ... the impossible dream ...

To fight ... the unbeatable foe ... To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ... To run ... where the brave dare not go ...

To right ... the unrightable wrong ... To love ... pure and chaste from afar ... To try ... when your arms are too weary ...

This is my quest ... to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far

To reach ... the unreachable star ...

This we know. The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth.

This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Chief Seattle

Esto sabemos, la Tierra no nos pertenece

nosotros pertenecemos a la Tierra

Esto sabemos.

Todas las cosas estan vinculadas como sangre en una familia

Todas las cosas estan vinculadas.

People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness.

Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

La gente camina senderos diferentes para encontrar felicidad, si ellos no estan en su sendero, no significa que ellos estan perdidos.
