“The best things in life are free” is an ancient proverb which has a deep hidden meaning. This proverb relates to all the things money cannot buy. This proverb is closely related with the proverb “money cannot buy happiness”. When we are born on this Earth, the almighty blesses us with a full – fledged family. This family consisting of our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and siblings is a blessing showered by the almighty on each and every individual.
However rich an individual might grow, he cannot buy these relations. This is a universal fact known to one and all. Another important fact is that one cannot buy happiness.
Happiness comes as a result of appreciating smaller things in life instead of crying for bigger things in order to gain happiness. An individual who is alone in his 10,000 square feet mansion can never be as happy as an individual who stays with his family and kids in a 1000 square feet home. A BMW is useless if you have no one beside you whereas you can stay happy travelling in a public transport if you are with the people you love.
The proverb “The best things in life are free” also stresses the importance of another significant fact; it is extremely essential for any individual to spend time with his family apart from working all day long.
What is the use of money which does not even permits you to spend quality time with the people you love. When you will be left alone, the money will not sooth your heart, it is your family, your friends; the people you love who will prove to be instrumental in bringing out the happiness from your inside.
An expensive bed cannot help you to sleep peacefully and on the other hand an individual sleeping on the road side can have an amazing sleep; the reason is sleep will not come with money, it will come with peace of mind and this peace of mind comes free.
Yes! money does help in buying things which can be instrumental in bringing about happiness but money cannot buy family and family love. It is god’s gift and it comes for free. The deep meaning that this proverb tries to explain is that instead of searching happiness by the means of monetary pleasures, it is essential to understand the fact that God has already gifted the best thing to all of us without any cost; in form of free blessings which every individual is endowed with.
So it is essential that one always remains happy and content with his or her life because you can buy things but not the best things. Life on Earth will be heavenly once an individual understands and abides by this simple fact of life.
write a debate on patriotism enhances that growth of a nation
Answer: I believe that patriotism enhances the growth of a nation by strengthening the pride of its inhabitants which will help to grow said nation economically and will help the nation's people grow closer. Here's how.
If people feel patriotism for their country then they will feel comfortable spending their money in said nation which will grow the amount of money spent which will gradually grow the economy. Then if the country's inhabitants feel a connection to one another despite distance then said country will be a more peaceful and possibly more loving place to live and/or work.

"it is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed" anybody know the meaning to this quote??
Answer:
From first glance, I believe hat the meaning is that when you're in a tough and crazy situation, you find out who a person really is--whether it's positive or negative.

There are 36 lines in the poem. The poem is numbered every 5 lines. ,end italics,
,begin bold,A Saddle & the World,end bold,
In Palestine, an old disheveled street,
a wall of tiny shops, where grass grows between crumpled stone,
I stand and watch in the shadow of the wall.
Pots and tin pans and brooms and woven straw mats,
even handmade saddles, spill into the narrow street.
Heavy saddles, covered with burlap, to fit horses,
mules, donkeys, sewn by someone who knows saddles.
A woman in a ,begin italics,thobe,end italics,—a long black dress,
hand-embroidered with red cross-stitching on chest and sides—
pokes around the saddles.
Bending down, she touches, pats, caresses,
like a woman buying cloth.
Finally she lifts her head, then do-si-dos,superscript,1,baseline,
toward the bald man who owns the shop
and asks the price of the saddle she likes best.
But the price isn't set in stone and will change, like the weather,
if you have some smarts at this haggling game.
Like fencing,,superscript,2,baseline, you dance with agile steps around each other,

sweep the air for emphasis. The woman nods,
and a corner of her mouth lifts. She fingers the coins
inside the slit in her belt.
"Sold! To the woman in embroidered dress!" the auctioneer would call out
if she lived in Texas. Or Oklahoma. Or even New York.
But in Palestine where she lives, a thousand women in embroidered
dresses
would stand to claim the prize.
I, in the uniform of my faded American jeans,
ask the woman a foolish question,
"How will you take this saddle home?"
The woman's face cracks open, a smile spills out.
Squatting, she picks up the saddle, an Olympian heavyweight champion,
she hoists the saddle in the air, then lowers it onto her head.
She stands tall, this Palestinian Yoga-woman, her head not merely holding
a saddle,
But the world.

In Freak The Mighty, what should Max do in the situation as he has been kidnapped by his father?
Answer:
Maybe this will help a little
Explanation:
Max is absolutely terrified of testifying against his father, Kenny “Killer” Kane in court. Max’s father has already killed Max’s mother and then kidnapped Max (on Christmas Eve, no less) immediately after getting out of jail on parole. It bothers Max so much that he cannot even enjoy the attention Max and Kevin are receiving at school due to their daring rescue. As usual, Max tries to escape the disturbing thoughts and says he would “just as soon forget about the whole thing.” Luckily, Max’s father settles out of court; therefore, Max does not have to testify against his own dad. Unfortunately, though, this makes Max worry about something else. Max continually worries about becoming just like his horrible father. Kevin tries to dispel Kevin’s worry by speaking about the importance of remembering. Kevin insists that remembering the bad things that Kenny “Killer” Kane has done and then purposely not repeating them will help Max in his situation. Again, the friendship of Max and Kevin saves the day.

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand.
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command.
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

the girl who owned a city why was there a fire at swift farm?
where to put the apostrophe
Answer:
1. C
2. C
3. C or A, depending on what your teacher prefers
4. B
5. buses
Explanation:
Remember, only put apostrophes on the object when it possesses (has) something.
For plural objects, only put one apostrophe and one letter S, like this: puppies' (not puppies's).
Regarding last names ending with the letter S, both S' and S'S are correct; it just depends on what your teacher prefers.
Example: Jones' or Jones's are both correct.

Is long ere it conceive the kindling fire:
But when it once doth burn, it doth divide,
Great heat, and makes his flames to heaven aspire.
So hard it is to kindle new desire,
In gentle breast that shall endure for ever:
Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire
With chaste affects that naught but death can sever.
Then think not long in taking little pain,
To knit the knot that ever shall remain.

Read the excerpt from John Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and answer the question. [1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion. [2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt. [3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower … In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, explain
presents endless possibilities to experience and appreciate . This is the correct option. The author, John Muir , refers to this idea when he says: "....and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. ...were welcomed as friends. " The words abounding and inexhaustible refer to endless possibilties. He also uses the phrase spiritual beauty bread. This means that nature can be eaten like bread and the taste of nature can be tasted or appreciated. Plants, storms , thunderstorms and winds in the woods are in the beauty bread.
These options are not right:
-is filled with countless opportunities to discover rare plants. The writer sets the focus on nature as a whole not just on plants.
-needs to be conquered and controlled by human exploration. The writer enjoys nature ; he is not interested in controlling it.
-offers many unique challenges for the mind, body, and spirit. The writer enjoys nature ; he does not see it as challenging.
