hey samsara thanks for the thread
the speech by antony from julius caesar was a classic although i used to sleep a lot LIT class
howeva here is another one, one of my favorite poems by the greatest Milton
WHEN I CONSIDER HOW MY LIGHT IS SPENT
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts: who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed
And post o'er land and ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait."
