All That Gilters

Not all roses are red, not all friends are faithful, not all that are bright and beautiful are blissful, Life is a bunch of super things build on nothing; so not all that is cute and colourful is worth craving. Not all men are gentlemen, not all ladies are lovely, as the rich also cry, the poor can also be lively, life's true worth is not what we see with our eyes; just as the stars are not as we see them in the skies. Beauty and boldness are nothing but face-view, the content of a man's charater is his real value; fortune and fame will one day fall and fade away; what lingers long are the legacies of love we lay... Not all the liquids that are delightful are drinkable, not all the fresh fruits in the forest are edible, it is not all that gilters with great glamour is gold; watch and walk wisely so you do not get cold.
