ARROWS

Convey love to thy friend as an arrow to the mark; not as a ball against the wall, to rebound back again.
     - Francis Quarles

A man convinced of his own merit will accept misortune as an honor, for thus can he persuade others, as well as himself, that he is a worthy target for the arrows of fate.
     - Francois, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, 1613 - 1680

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
     - Kahl Gibran, 1883 - 1931

In one way an arrow moves, in another way the mind. The mind indeed, both when it exercises caution and when it is employed about inquiry, moves straight onward not the less, and to its object.
     - Mrcus Aurelius, Meditations

Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past, the neglected opportunity.
     - Omar Idn Al-Halif

A day of opening new doors. A day of coping with threats. A day of sweet melancholy. A day of quiet tempests. A day to mark in history A day to remember 4ever!!!

PRAISE D. 4EVER!

In addition to writing it to her personally - I need to post it here, in the place that caused me to write this "chapter".

Your devoted friendship - coming from an endless huge heart, and from a compassionate loving personality - simply gives my life an added value!
Backing me during these times of many different difficulties causes me to believe, once again, in humanity and unconditional good!

Sharing my life details with you is an honor, because you accept me as I am, opening your soul in front of me, and offer a shoulder to lean on!

I praise thee D. for trust, compassion, unlimited readiness to be here for me, and human love 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gloomy
Not gloomy at all!
Happy with my granddaughters!
Speechless!
As if...

It is not so much consequence what you say, as how you say it. Memorable sentences are memorable, on account of some single irradiating word.
     - Alexander Smith, 1830 - 1867

Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in a few words.
     - Ecclesiasticus

All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
     - Ernest Hemingway, 1899 - 1961

Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?
     - Marcel Marceau

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
     - Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910
