A good inclination is but the first rude draught of virtue, but the finishing strokes are from the will, which, if well disposed, will by degrees perfect it, as if all disposed will quickly deface it.

Virtue is harmony
He is with his wife
In perfect harmony
Throughout his life
like a man who over-slept
After putting his wallet
In the safest basket,
Because he has a mate,
Who is well disposed
For not polluting her mind
With other than her husband,
Who reciprocate to her or not.

Evil borders upon good, and vices are confounded with virtues; as the report of good qualities is delightful to a well-disposed mind, so the relation of the contrary should not be offensive.

Cherished Way
All women are like the red rose
Not a hurdle or challenge posed
They stand for it and really to be supposed
No worries at home and quickly disposed
It is nice to keep her in smiles
As life cart must run for a while
All passengers and co passengers
If not may not prove good managers
She is at helm of affairs
Looks after fine and very fair
Let us help her cheeks to shine
She stands tall as next to divine
Let her open up like flower
Spread fragrance after rain shower
Think of sun shine and very good season
You will be happiest on earth as person
She has always kept you intact
This is one of the known and bare facts
Let us respect and please her to stay
As life is meant to be long and cherished way

How frequently are the honesty and integrity of a man disposed of by a smile or a shrug. How many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion by a distrustful look, or stamped with the imputation of bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper!
Liars are always most disposed to swear.

Sir Andrew: Ay, he does well enough if he be disposed, and so do I too.
He does it with a better grace, but I do it more natural.

How are you?
Hello
Is the nicest words to say
To someone
That You Love
Goodbye
Is a polite expression
disposed too
Those you don't
How are you
Can be the compromise two
For those you love
And those deplored
If I love you
I'd be glad to say Hello everyday
But if I distrust you
I'll be nice to say without good care
How are you
