I don't believe wisdom is found in sayings. Wisdom comes from out of the heart, and what the contents of it are. A simple man thinks simple thoughts. Your thoughts are not simple, but wise and full of life, therefore you are not a simple man :)

Not out of the woods yet, Demetrios ... so I decided to stop on by. As is to be expected, another great piece from you. As the saying goes, "Life is constantly happening by the death of the previous moment, and the birth of the next!" ... we have the interesting opportunity to be stuck in the middle. So embrace it :)

If only I knew all sayings in the world my friend, Timothy, I would be the wisest of the wise! Unfortunately, I do not know thus I am not wise. I am just a simple man writing my thoughts and conceptions! However in my saying there is no death or birth but a constant change! Thank you for visiting and commenting. Hope soon all will be in place for you. God bless you and thank you!
