Rudyard Kipling
“Not all of us can choose what we give up. The things we love are taken or are never ours at all. If we’re lucky, life is defined not by what we let go, but what we let in: friendship and kind words, frailty and hope.”

Willem de Vlamingh, a Dutch sea captain & explorer who in 1697 AD not only replaced Dirk Hartog's pewter plate on Dirk Hartog Island, off the coast of Western Australia, but also found & named Rottnest Island, near Perth, where the so-called rats were actually unique marsupial Quokkas.

William Wordsworth, who wrote a poem called "Daffodils" which, like so many schoolchildren I learned at school. I attached the poem by the way. :D
