"Never complain
and never explain."
Disraeli
“Don't waste your time
with explanations:
people only hear
what they want
to hear.”
Paulo Coelho
“When you complain,
you explain pain
for no gain.
Endure
and balance yourself
through the pain,
be hopeful
and persist
to the end.”
Israelmore Ayivor
“Don't bother explaining-
-I've heard all the excuses
and the trouble is
most of them
are true.”
John Brunner
“Only peons made
excuses for themselves
she taught me.
Never apologize,
never explain.”

If this explanation
is in response
to an outright
accusation,
- or
false assumption
about character
or motives -
Then I'd say
"Don't explain."
Those demanding it
have already made up
their "mind."
It is not your job
to change it.
I believe devoutly
in the Eloquence
of Silence.
Always do right
as you see it
"I never bother
about that.
Those who matter
don't mind,
and those who
mind
don't matter."

J'adore your rant o the day Cloudia :) I've been doing a wee bit of that myself these last few days.. but I won't explain :) No seriously I agree, there's no use in trying to explain, people really have already made up their minds and it's a waste of energy oui. Your first portrait shot is wonderful mon amie.
The guy in the first picture signs it well, "Hang loose!"
Have a wonderful day. Thanks for the incredible pictures!
we certainly waste a lot of breathe trying to convince others of things they have already made up their mind about....water off a ducks back...
aloha from va
Cloudia, another lovely posting.
Now, please EXPLAIN how you get these lovely pictures AND the quotes... ;-}
Love Phil
I take pictures, therefore I am.

Great advice, and ranting. LOL Love the photo of the leaves.
Excellent advice... Thanks for ranting!
One of my problems is that I try to explain things. I have reasons for why I think as I do and I want others to listen. But these quotes are largely accurate. People don't really listen.
hard not to defend oneself.
Aloha this morning! You sure are right about folks that believe their way with closed ears and mind. Very sad for them. These words are a song for me today, "I believe devoutly
in the Eloquence
of Silence" Yes, I do too.
Thanks, my jolly Friends ♥
Wise words my friend. I see you have had a visit from the same spammer as I.
"... people only hear
what they want
to hear.”
very wise, Cloudia!
Love it. Easier said than done though. I have wasted rather a lot of time trying to explain/justify myself.
That spammer also hit Revrunner, I think...
Every once in awhile we need a bit of a rant.
And I like that Farragut quote.
You are right often silence is the way to go.
Merle........
Gosh yes! Got to get rid of that spam!
My friends DO NOT wade through nonsense (except out own! :-)
