"When we judge by appearances, we are always jumping to confusions."
J.Sig Paulson

Seems to be a variation on "Don't judge a book by its cover."

of course you are right Fedi..just don't judge too soon :-

Here is one which came to my mind after our visitors left yesterday.. non stop talk about bad health

Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping in that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Hi Yoli,

"It is just life that shapes a man; words hardly matter." (loosely based on Goethe)

Fedi

Be cheerful.
What sunshine is to flowers.
smiles are to humanity.

This may be true except for the diabolic smiles of mass murderers for whom they are "the visible sign of the sense of triumpf". (Klaus Theweleit)

Fedi, it seems we are the only ones writing here in words to meet the day.
It is a shame because it could be a nice uncomplicated thread.

Cheerio

"All the children who are held and loved will know how to love others. Spread these virtues in the world. Nothing more need be done."
