If you're at an award ceremony, you're against your mates. (Quote by - David Antin)

If our two loves be one, or thou and I Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die. (Quote by - John Donne)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. (Quote by - William Butler Yeats)

Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith; But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle; But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

After their death, where will they be sent? The sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage give them no place of protection, and no Brahmin will eat their food. They remain polluted forever, day and night; they do not apply the ceremonial tilak mark to their foreheads. They sit together in silence, as if in mourning; they do not go to the Lord's Court. (Quote by - Sri Guru Granth Sahib)

A lot of communities have established over the years their own tradition of how they do it. Some of them have formal ceremonies. I've been to some where they bring in the high school band, a choir group from a local church. (Quote by - Bill Dressel)

Nay, my lords, ceremony was but devised at first To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; But where there is true friendship, there needs none. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
