Tell no one the secret that you want to keep, although he may be worthy of confidence; for no one will be so careful of your secret as yourself.

Secret Society
When we were young they would break our hearts
You and I had to go undercover
We knew in time we would be pulled apart
We found a way we could hold on to each other
Gave our souls to another world
Sealed in blood with a sacred vow
Now weve forgotten but beneath all this
A part of you and me is still there now
Go on and sing
Go on and dance
Itll all come back if you just give it a chance
Dont you remember me?
We had a secret society
Refresh your memory
We were the secret society
I never see you in the waking world
We make an effort to avoid each other
But every night we penetrate the veil
Where everybody acts like sister and brother
You never speak the words in broad daylight
Theyre much too delicate and too naive
But everybodys been a witness sometime
It doesnt change it if you dont believe
So go on and sing
Go on and dance
Someday soon youll hear that little bell ring
And youll remember me
We have a secret society
Not just a memory
We are the secret society
Youve got to come with me
Youre in the secret society
Until eternity
We are the secret society (its no secret)

Thus a man was born into a fixed relation to certain gods as surely as he was born into a relation to his fellow-men; and his religion... was simply one side of the general scheme of conduct prescribed for him by his position as a member of society.

Good sites
So many social sites are for use
Readers can use and misuse
For scoring the level against
But it is much to the against interest
The sites invite wrath
Over somebody's death
If misreported or story unrelated
Putting climax and highly exaggerated
They are absolutely right if curbed freedom slight
It is not at all right
To malign and use name
For earning the blame
They are not that influential
To show it as essential
Even if name is worth condemnation
We have no business to do any revelation
It may do harm
Relation may not remain warm
Damage suits may follow
Certainly sites can't allow
Let us extend our support
Maintain good rapport
With utmost good faith
While putting the articles forthwith
It is privilege to find platform
To stay in touch and remain well informed
We are so much at advantageous position
We pay little or nothing for composition
I shall pay my complement
For providing a place for movement
Whether be it a commercial or honorary
Every part in society is essential and necessary

We must make a very precise distinction between the official and consequently dictatorial prerogatives of society organized as a state, and of the natural influence and action of the members of a non-
official, non-artificial society.

For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

It has often struck me that the relation of two important members of the social body to one another has never been sufficiently considered, or treated of, so far as I know, either by the philosopher or the poet.

Always nice
Eat only when you are hungry
Speak only when you are not angry
Impart only when you have knowledge
Make smart move when you have clear edge
Love only when you want happy end
Intimate the relation when you want to be a friend
Make it known only when it is essential
Lay your hand when the gain is substantial
Make it worthwhile to live
Strengthen your belief and believe
Share the burden with others and relieve
Promise for good and never deceive
It is senseless to embark on mad adventure
There lies nothing but bleak future
Think twice before making it doubly sure
Take into confidence and possibly ensure
It may nice if there is correction
Every word is followed by action
Will it not be nice to stand for promise?
Day may start with beautiful sun rise
Think you are the only one
You can beat every one
There is scope for everything
Nothing should go as missing

Low Society
A judge a dentist or physician
In this low society
Trade ambition for position
In this low society
Have you heard its in the stars
Next july we collide with mars
Have you heard it in the bars
In this low society
No more pay and lots of leisure
In this low society
Low society
Im just doing what I can
In this low society
But Im an incidental man
In this low society
I give away what others sell
The secrets yours so never tell
cos if you do youll go to hell
Low society
Side by side and always tired
All for one and no-one hired
All thats left is love inspired
Low society
And when the party is complete
And youre still standing on your feet
The taste of victory is sweet
Low society
And darling dont forget
In this low society
To turn off your t.v. set
In this low society
The most important thing at all
In this low society
Is not to stand too tall
In this low society
In this world that never learns
I can see rome as it burns
All the passion and the power
Turns to ash within an hour
No more play and no more pleasure
In this low society

Confidence
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said its round
He went down in history
And america was found
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
How do you know that you cant ride a rainbow in the sky
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
All you need is confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Confi ..... confi .... confidence
