Those whose day
is passing
always feel
that society is crumbling.
But it's just changing
“Our youth now love luxury.
They have bad manners,
contempt for authority;
they show disrespect for their elders
and love chatter in place of exercise;
they no longer rise when elders enter the room;
they contradict their parents,
chatter before company;
gobble up their food
and tyrannize their teachers.”
Socrates
469 BCE – 399 BCE
"The person
who has lived the most
is not the one
with the most years
but the one with
the richest experiences. "
who has lived the most
is not the one
with the most years
but the one with
the richest experiences. "
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
" That's the way things
come clear.
All of a sudden.
And then you realize
how obvious they've been
all along. "
Madeleine L'Engle

I love that Socrates quote. Showed it to my husband, 'cause sometimes he behaves like an old fart.
ReplyDeleteGosh the quote from Socrates could have been written now!
ReplyDeleteHope you're flourishing today, Cloudi! I like your title for a motto!
ReplyDeleteEach of you is a bright blossom !
ReplyDeleteThanks, dears :-)
Socrates would freak with today's events. I prefer my flowers on the vine. And, what's with that little tiny cloud embryo, all alone in the sky? DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteThat's a big tattoo. I still have to evaluate if I like it or not.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
