“Do what you want to within reason
but remember, take your time:
nothing stops for those
who can't afford to wait.
The best advice that I can give you
is to hold on to your head
and as long as you are good and kind
you'll always be a friend of mine.
And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find
But I'd like to think that you are
a friend of mine.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter
