One Foot in Sea, and One on Shore, To One Thing Constant Never

 Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny.

The Parrot Diaries: The Eyes Are The Window To Your Soul

The Eyes are the Window to Your Soul

William Shakespeare

If you look into the eyes of a parrot you don't just see a blank stare. You see an intelligent being looking back.

Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.
Samuel Richardson

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?
Henry David Thoreau

Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.
Albert Einstein

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
Theodore Roosevelt

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
