Sometimes you do learn valuable things in school!

So, we have been talking about philosophy a lot in my Foundations of Education class and for the most part I have no idea what the professor is ever talking about or trying to get across but today he put some stuff up that I really liked and felt like sharing for no real reason...I just feel like it!

I have always loved Shakespeare's 116th Sonnet which says-
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 

But even more than that I loved this by Frank Lloyd Wright-
If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life!

I thought that this was truly amazing and I would encourage us all to pay attention to the beauty in our lives, no matter the source, that we are able to better appreciate it!
