"If you can fall in love again and again... if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical... you've got it half licked."

If you can fall in love again and again, if you can forgive your parents for the crime of bringing you into the world, if you are content to get nowhere, just take each day as it comes, if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical, man you’ve got it half licked.
