2. We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.

3. I would have been the world’s greatest at whatever I did. If I were a garbage man, I’d be the world’s greatest garbage man! I’d pick up more garbage and faster than anyone has ever seen. To tell you the truth, I would have been the greatest at whatever I’d done!

4. To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.

5. I don’t have to be what anyone else wants me to be. I am free to be who I want to be.

6. Love is a net that catches hearts like a fish.

7. I am riding on my horse of hope, holding in my hand the rein of courage. Dressed in the armor of patience, with the helmet of endurance on my head, I started out on my journey to the land of love.

8. It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.

9. Wisdom is knowing when you can’t be wise.

10. Old age is just a record of one’s whole life.

EARTH DAY

Earth Day is a launch pad for course-changing, positive environmental action. Since 1970, Earth Day has activated individuals and organisations annually to strengthen the collective fight against man's exploitive relationship with the planet. The Earth Day campaign aims to combat climate change by driving substantive behavioural change and channel quantifiable action on behalf of the environment.

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.
Why only 22 April?

Because it did not fall during exams or spring breaks, did not conflict with religious holidays and was late enough in spring to have decent weather.

Founder of Earth Day: Senator Gaylord Nelson.
First Earth Day: April 22, 1970

Core Issues :-
Advocacy, Climate Change, Conservation & Biodiversity, Education, Energy, Food & Agriculture, Green Economy, Green Schools, Recycling & Waste Reduction, Sustainable Development, Water

Things you can do for this day:-
Cleaning up local parks and surroundings, replacing incandescent lightbulbs with energy- saving compact fluorescent ones and planting trees.

Foreign Expressions in English

1De facto

De facto is a Latin expression that means “actual” (if used as an adjective) or “in practice” (if used as an adverb). In legal terms, de facto is commonly used in contrast to de jure, which means “by law.” Something, therefore, can emerge either de facto (by practice) or de jure (by law).

2Vis-à-vis

The literal meaning of this French expression is “face to face” (used as an adverb). It is used more widely as a preposition though, meaning “compared with” or “in relation to.”

3Status quo

This famous Latin expression means “the current or existing state of affairs.” If something changes the status quo, it is changing the way things presently are.

4Cul-de-sac

This expression originated in England with French-speaking aristocrats. Literally it means “bottom of a sack,” but generally it refers to a dead-end street. Cul-de-sac can also be used metaphorically to express an action that leads to nowhere or an impasse.

5Per se

Per se is a Latin expression that means “by itself” or “intrinsically.”

6Ad hoc

Ad hoc, borrowed from Latin, can be used both as an adjective, where it means “formed or created with a specific purpose,” and as an adverb, where it means “for the specific purpose or situation.”
