*Absence is hard on any relationship; if you don’t miss someone when they are gone, you don’t really love them when they are near.
*Don’t waste time being excessively proud of your ancestors. If they did well, spend your effort trying to not do worse than they did!
Quotable:
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
Bovee 1820-1904
