RICHES - DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE
WHEN I WISH I WAS RICH, THEN I KNOW I AM ILL.
BECAUSE, TO TELL THE TRUTH, I HAVE ENOUGH AS I AM.
SO WHEN I CATCH MYSELF THINKING: AH, IF I WAS RICH -!
I SAY TO MYSELF: HELLO! I'M NOT WELL. MY VITALITY IS LOW.
D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930), English novelist, storywriter, critic, poet and painter, one of the greatest figures in 20th-century English literature.
SENTENCES FOR REFLECTION
Every day can be glorious.
Never act a part, be real.
Laugh at the impossible.
Dig deep and mine the greatest in men.
Steer a straight course, unruffled, serene and sure.
To be honest is our only hope.
We cannot help how clever we are, we can how wise.
Always keep a grateful heart.
Let God sweep in all the corners.
Never let others feel the cost of our moods.
Not what we think, but what needs to be done.
Character doesn’t just happen – it is moulded.
We make ourselves so small.
Live each day as if your last.
Go where the stones are rough.
Obstacles are for climbing over.
Decisions are the bricks to build character.
Do you drift on the tide, or turn it?
The only way to blot out the past is to build for the future.
Let the whole world walk into your heart.
In the quietness of the early morning we can get
God’s directions for the whole day.

Louis MacNeice, PRAYER BEFORE BIRTH
Frederick Louis MacNeice
CBE (12 September 1907 – 3 September 1963) was an Irish poet and playwright. He was part of the generation of "thirties poets" which included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and C. Day Lewis; nicknamed "MacSpaunday" as a group. His body of work was widely appreciated by the public during his lifetime, due in part to his relaxed, but socially and emotionally aware style. Never as overtly (or simplistically) political as some of his contemporaries, his work shows a humane opposition to totalitarianism as well as an acute awareness of his Irish roots.
CBE
Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is an order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by George V of the United Kingdom.
The Order comprises five classes in civil and military divisions. In decreasing order of seniority, these are:
Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE) or Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE
Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) or Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE)
Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)
Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE)
Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)
Only the highest two ranks admit an individual into knighthood or damehood automatically, an honour allowing the recipient to use the title "Sir" (male) or "Dame" (female) before his or her first name.
The Order's motto is For God and the Empire. It is the most junior of the British orders of chivalry, and the largest, with over 100,000 living members worldwide.
