The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing. What a mistake that would be.

How Can I Keep from Singing: Pete Seeger (1981)

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

The world would never amount to a hill of beans if people didn't use their imaginations to think of the impossible.

The world will be saved by people fighting for their homes.

The key to the future of the world, is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known.
