  Speaker 1: Rudolph Valentino. Introduction. I cannot tell a roundelais in words
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of yesterday. I cannot tell a couplet for words come
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: as they may. I'll do my best. I'll try a

  Speaker 1: bit of ultra modern rhyme, and cast aside the shackles

  Speaker 1: binding Once upon a time. Preface to you, my gentle reader,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I wish to say a forward of warning before you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: peruse the contents of this book. I am not a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: poet nor a scholar. Therefore you shall find neither poems
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: nor prose, just dreams. Day dreams, a bit of romance,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a bit of sentimentalism, a bit of philosophy not studied,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but acquired by constant observation of that greatest of masters nature.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: While lying idle, not through choice, but because forcefully kept
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: from my preferred and actual field of activity, I took
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to dreams to forget the tediousness of worldly strife and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the boredom of Jurisprudence's pedantic etiquette. Happy indeed, I shall
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be if my day dreams will bring you as much
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: enjoyment in the reading as they brought me in the writing.

• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It may be the wealth of a wonderful life, or
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the feeling adventure of jungle strife. Perhaps it's a present
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of orient gold, tales of the Latin enchantingly told. May
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: be a view of olden days, knighthood, romance, flowery ways,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and again a journey to lands afar where strange things
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: happen and wonders. Are all of them gift books, But
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: plainly I see not one of them holds the gift
• 3:03

  Speaker 7: it by putting it in a proper receptacle, and what

  Speaker 7: a difference. But outside of beauty, what have you? If
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: we could only combine the beauty of an orchid with
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: the soul of a weed, we would get an improvement
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: in the orchid. For real, weeds are grateful enough to
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: spring up between cobblestones, even to be trampled upon. Rather
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: be a blade of grass that knows the heartbeats of

• 22:58
  Speaker 2: mark a jewel's worth. My feeble voice so weak it
• 23:01

• 23:05
  Speaker 2: to me, angelic voice in harmony, I know it is
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: not high. It was belief that gave it to wing,
• 23:13

• 23:46
  Speaker 8: heedless of the weather, happy banding altogether, never giving thought
• 23:52

  Speaker 8: proudly mention every honorable intention to the world, with trumpet blaring,
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: could like sparrows take uncaring all the little earthly struggles,
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: cast them gipsy like aside, and fly happily and gladly
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: all about Earth's countryside. Why do the birds chant the
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: psalm of glory? Only because they alone are free throated
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: and unafraid? Do they realize the danger in the slingshot
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: of civilization? No, they are only conscious of the joy within.
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: Why sing of joy if joy is to be unheard?
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: Why sing of faith if faith is to be barred.

• 1:01:26
  Speaker 12: long as you sing a song, your day or night
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 12: is well begun. Woman the unreasonable reason for the great
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 12: reason which the sages call life. Others not so knowing,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 12: call it love. Faith, the engagement repartee of love hope.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 12: Marriage may be its reply, but charity divorce is the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: retort to courteus. The wedding marked or two step, I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: should say, is only too often. The lockstep punishment is
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 12: seldom unmerited, though we may not always see the cause.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: It is unwise to doubt others when you are not
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 12: sure of yourself. Scientists are fools in some respects, I
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 12: mean the so called ones, for they ignore the science
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: of all important things. Friend is symbolical of heaven, but
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 12: some play hell with it. Finn is a healthy disease
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 12: and is very contagious. May I intrude is often substituted
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: for do I intrude. Bores are not connoisseurs in the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: selection of verbs. Make the best of what comes, for
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 12: the best is coming. The great divide is the division
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 12: of thought, which separates the wise from the fools. Whatever
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 12: has in it. The element of restlessness is like the
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: poison ivy plant. It causes rash and spasmodic movements, and
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 12: after all the scratching, the victim is worse off than before.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: Worlds and worlds to live in, and so I few do.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: Care is helpful if we carefully care, But when we
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 12: carelessly care, be careful. Gossip never related in the same way.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 12: When you eat hash, you do not always recognize the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 12: different kinds of meat in it, do you? So it
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 12: is with twice told tales. We always prefer the most
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 12: difficult way. It seems so much more important, But once
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: we realize it, truth is always simplest when it is truth.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: It takes a hero to accuse no one, but take
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: another's accusation to his heart. Love's greatest expression is service.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 12: Eyes are living windows into the garden. We all go,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: but most are looking for the warm in the bed,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: and never see the promise of the flower. Art the

  Speaker 12: To be a humorist, one must be concise witty but
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 12: short lived. For the good die young. Cleverness word most
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 12: useful to the bard who finds his pathway, all be
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: set with doubt. For if we find his hidden meanings hard,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 12: we call him clever, then he knows what we're about.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: Publicity is the keystone in the arch of triumph, money
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 12: pretender to the throne of all we most desire. Doubt
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 12: is the opposing influence of our lives. Happiness some never
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 12: know as a lasting friend, but only as a bowing acquaintance.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: Wifehood is a profession, but womanhood is the expression. Faith
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 12: is the oasis in our desert of lost hope. Given
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: a chance to run in the great race, even a
• 1:04:54

  Speaker 12: Loving service is more helpful than scholarly advice. Friend, most
