All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

 

"All that is gold does not glitter," J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973)

“Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment.”

 

William Shakespeare 1564-1616)

 

 

“Sometimes I need what only you can provide -- your absence.”

 

 

“There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know.

It is caused by the absence of you.”

 

“Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array,

Days of absence, I am weary;

She I love is far away.”

"May you be in Heaven a half hour before the Devil knows you're dead!"

 

- An old Irish Toast :shrug:

 

Happy St. Patty's Day!

 

Tar and Ditto

“May those who love us, love us;

and those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts;

and if He doesn't turn their hearts,

may he turn their ankles so we'll know them by their limping.”

Why is Free Speech so important?...

 

Why speak up about things that don't seem to affect you?

Perhaps Pastor Martin Neimoller's view in one version of his quote will answer that question.

He supported the Nazis until he realized, too late, what they were really about and was sent to Dachau concentration camp.

He was one of the fortunate to be freed and live until 1984.

 

First they came for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Social Democrats,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak up,

because I wasn't a Jew,

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one

left to speak up for me.

 

 

 

this version thanks to information researched at Liverpool Community College

and by University of California Santa Barbara Professor Harold Marcuse
