I'm not sure how long this will last, but I think I will dedicate this week's journal entries to proverbial sayings (definitely with no intentions of making you wretch).



She who overcomes others is strong; she who overcomes herself is mighty.
-Taoism

Difficult to conquer is one's self. But when that is conquered, everything is conquered.
-Jainism

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?
-Christianity

If one were to conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, he who conquers himself is the greatest warrior.
-Buddhism

People who post proverbs for others to see, while rewarding for the self, make others puke
-GrievousAngel acknowledging reality

Enjoy!

Don't worry, you won't bore me. I love philosophy and religious discourse. Here are some gems of wisdom from less acknowledged sources:

"Never think you've seen the last of anything."
-Eudora Welty

"Never do anything yourself that others can do for you."
-Agatha Christie

"Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the tests first."
-Patsy Cline

"When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So that the hell, leap." -Cynthia Heimel

And one that I am feeling quite personally these days: "The trouble with some women is they get all excited over nothing ... and then they marry him." -Cher

P.S. I never heard of Satina Saturnina before. I'll have to check them out.

I've heard that Ottawa is very dull. It's the capital, what can you expect? Can't you go to Toronto or Montreal to party?

Cheers!
