Histories make men wise; poets witty;
the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep;
morals grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.
-Francis Bacon
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Our life is a long and arduous quest after truth.
– Mahatma Ghandi
“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”

“The cliché organizes life;
it expropriates people’s identity;
it becomes ruler, defense lawyer,
judge and the law.”
– Vaclav Haval, Czech playwright
“The block of granite which is an obstacle in the path of the weak,
becomes a stepping stone in the pathway of the strong.”
-Thomas Carlyle, Scottish essayist
“Let him make use of instinct
who cannot make use of reason.”

forget what you did,
but they never forget how you made them feel.”

I agree with kïrstin – and was curious enough for a google-translation of the sentence – a harmless wish for another day growing, but maybe with these links (I won\’t try) they are equivocating … and if this was my place, I would not allow any stranger to post a bunch of links leading to whatever.

As long as it is not offensive I\’ll leave it up. I just don\’t want anything offensive on here to my Chinese friends and without being able to decipher the characters I wouldn\’t know for sure. Chendd, it turns out, is a serial commentor but probably harmless.( I don\’t like the links either.) I know some Chinese but only phonetically and most of it is from ordering off of bilingual Chinese Restaurant menus and my trusty Chinese Cook Book ! Hope everybody liked the quotes anyway! Usually I take links off. There aren\’t very many up there. I probably won\’t try them either ! Kisses to every one !

Hi Carolyn ! It\’s good to see you at my Live Space ! I hope you\’re feeling better now. I\’ve been praying for you. The French is for my many French friends who I visit but they often have to use a translator for most of my entries. Hope to see you here again soon! Keep well !
