I find profound wisdom in proverbs, sayings and quotes and marvel at the way they are so succinct in communicating messages to the reader. Mostly anonymous, they come to us from past generations and across cultures, and speak of the experiences of lives lived and lessons learned. Quotes like proverbs, can make us think more deeply about something.
Each Thursday, I post a Proverb or Saying and a Quote that I find thought-provoking. I hope you will too.

I agree with you that the Corsicans have strange thoughts, but perhaps they speak with experience or with a sense of humour? I don’t know any corsicans to ask….

Can’t find agreement in my heart for either, Amanda ! My crazy parents produced crazy daughters. I tend often to be loud, but I honestly think I’m not an empty vessel. So: up to you to come up with another two next week that this old grump will like as much as all the others ! 😀
