This journal is mostly public because most of it contains poetry, quotations, pictures, jokes, videos, and news (medical and otherwise). If you like what you see, you are welcome to drop by, anytime. I update frequently.
I really like the refrain, I think the meaning might be applied to other situations...;)
"When there is desire, there is gonna be a flame, When there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned, But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die, You've got to get up and try, try, try..."
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad" (spoken by Prometheus in Longfellow's poem The Masque of Pandora). Prior Latin version: Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius (Boswell’s Johnson, 1783).
Translated.—Whom the Lord wishes to ruin, he first deprives of reason; or, “When God will punish, he will first take away the understanding.” Geo. Herbert.—Jacula Prudentum. 2
