“Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.”
― Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life

“Gossip is just a tool to distract people who have nothing better to do from feeling jealous of those few of us still remaining with noble hearts.”
― Anna Godbersen, Splendor

“It is presumptuous to draw conclusions about a person from what one has heard”
― Jude Morgan, Indiscretion

“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
― Karen Marie Moning
