“The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
Plato

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”
Herman Melville

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
G.K. Chesterton

“Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...”
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Christopher Foster Judy, Hi, thank you so much for reaching out. I'm delighted to be a friend. I couldn't help but notice you were born in Zimbabwe. When I was a young fellow of 18, living in London, and Zimbabwe was still known as Southern Rhodesia, I went out to SR to work as an editorial assistant on a business magazine in Salisbury, as it then was. Love and blessings to you.


Ugbomeh Thanks Judy, take care of yourself ok.......


Yvonne Hi Judy! Thanks for friending me!


Hammad Hello, Judy.
I've just watched Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown in South Africa. I have to say, South Africa is a very interesting country. It is a very good episode.


Hammad Hello, Judy.
Hello from Malaysia.
