Pawning Off Quotes & Sayings

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say, eat or be eaten
Some say, live and let live

It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
