“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” Confucius. Loved that one and I've been thinking about it a lot these last few days. Sadly, I still need to remind myself to take the high road.

I also woke up hearing my dear, departed Daddy's voice saying, "hit your thumb with a hammer, that way you notice your back aches." HA! That logic applies to all the A-havers!

Hope everybody has a peaceful and healing weekend!

Hi Dee,


A few more come to mind:


“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for it to kill your enemy.”


“You cannot get ahead, while you are getting even.”


“A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would do well.”


And my fav:


“Live well. It is the greatest revenge.”


Sounds like your dad had a lil Confucius in his genes ;) Yep looks like I picked up the hammer to deal with my problems when I had the A.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.
