Quotes About Smiles

É. Naqueles tempos de infância a gente sonhava. Os sonhos eram pequenos e cabiam num sapato. Hoje os sapatos são muito maiores. Só que não nos esquecemos dos sonhos. De modo que não há presente que nos faça sorrir... Já não sabemos o nome da nossa verdade. Daí a nostalgia sem remédio.

Adieu! but let me cherish, still, The hope with which I cannot part. Contempt may wound, and coldness chill, But still it lingers in my heart. And who can tell but Heaven, at last, May answer all my thousand prayers, And bid the future pay the past With joy for anguish, smiles for tears?
