Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young?

Excerpts from
All I Can Do Is Write About It,
by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Did you ever see she-gator protect her young,
or a fish in a river, swimming free?

Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina,
or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee?

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowing?
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog?

Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air you’re breathing?


The merit is the habit.

‘We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence (merit) is therefore not an act but a habit.’
- Aristotle

I read a variant of this quotation in portuguese, it was translated as:
the merit is not in the act but in the habit.’ – so shifting.
