值得背诵的英语短文

请推荐一些比较经典的英语短文，想背一下，因为从小学英语都是靠背诵培养的语感来过考试，好久没有学习英语了怕有生疏便找些文章来背~长期混迹英语论坛的虫虫们请加我好友，相互提高
请提供网站，或者书名，或者文章名，比如：马丁路德金的演讲i have a dream这一类的。就像唐诗一样，英语文化中也一定有些流传千古脍炙人口的精华。要的是这些 谢谢。。。

书有云：腹有诗书气自华~找些好的东西背还是有好处的。

Don't Open the Wrong Window
A girl was leaning over the windowsill of her own bedroom when she saw her neighbor burying a puppy,which was so lovely that the little girl usually played with it.Seeing the puppy dead,the little girl couldn't help bursting into tears from her broken heart.When her grandfather witnessed this, he led the little girl to another room and opened another window.
Looking out of this window,she found it was a sunshiny rose garden with the birds singing and the air permeated with the fragrance of flowers. Instantly the little girl became cheerful without any anxiety on her face.
The old man told his granddaughter kindly,"My dear, you just opened a wrong window."
On our journey to life,don't we often open a wrong window?
