Abraham Lincoln Quote

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

– Abraham Lincoln

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”

– Voltaire

Spring has
begun at 6:45 pm
Winter made
its exit
for it
to make
its return in
nine short
months.

And just
like clock
clock as when
when the
old season
became the
new one,
the snows
started to
fall from
the sky.

It seems
that Mother
Nature gave
Old Man
Winter an
unknown extension
of time.

A Pondering Mind

*********************

Two policemen call the station on the radio:

“Hello. Is that the Sarge?”

“Yes.”

“We have a case here. A woman has shot her husband for stepping on the floor
she has just mopped clean.”

“Have you arrested the woman?”

“No sir. The floor is still wet.”

“As the soft yield of water cleaves obstinate stone,
So to yield with life solves the insolvable: To yield,
I have learned, is to come back again.”

– Lao Tzu
