“It is death that makes life precious,
darkness that makes light precious,
dirt that makes flowers precious,
storms that make rainbows precious,
pain that makes pleasure precious,
chaos that makes harmony precious,
space that makes matter precious,
clutter that makes orderliness precious,
chance that makes certainty precious,
eternity that makes time precious,
truth that makes reality precious,
silence that makes speech precious,
rest that makes motion precious,
opinions that make facts precious,
strife that makes peace precious,
curiosity that makes knowledge precious,
suspicion that makes evidence precious,
fear that makes caution precious,
slavery that makes freedom precious,
oblivion that makes existence precious,
yesterday that makes tomorrow precious,
and tomorrow that makes forever precious.”
