2 Poor formatting, fragment at end.

3 Author's name written in capitals in the quote. Plus the quote is a very lengthy piece of praise about someone of the same surname. We may want to ask how much this is a quotable quote and how much it is a reference.

2 This one looks to be from a children's book and has the website of the book at the end, as a link. We tend not to quote links so that I expect could be removed.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments #397 - Done with one exception “Proverbs 15:17 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.”

Question for rivka or someone who is an expert on Biblical quotes.

in my Bible is "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred therewith"

The quotes linked to this book were a mixture of old fashioned & modern English (so I don't think they were all found in this book) but this one is so different from the quote in my Bible! I would like to either delete it or leave it with this author.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments #427 (Betty F) done. "Your" Jan Urban has 5 spaces between Jan & Urban if you ever want to add more quotes. It's how Goodreads distinguishes between authors with the same name.

So, #397 is done.
