True ..
During a lecture on the great differences between generations, a presumptuous student took the trouble to explain to an elderly man sitting close to him, why it is impossible for the older generation to understand his generation:
"You grew up in a different world, almost primitive," he said loudly enough to be heard around.
"Today's young people grew up with television, internet, mobile phones, jet planes, space travel, our space probes have visited Mars, we have nuclear power ships and electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light speed processes ... and plus".
After a brief silence the elder replied:
"You're right, my son, we did not have those things when we were young ...
SO WE INVENTED THEM!
Now, tell me arrogant, what are you doing for the next generation? "
The applause was deafening!

"She Walks in Beauty"
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent
