God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade--C J Langenhoven Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.- Proverb. I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am.-Rene Descartes- Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is one element of faith.- Paul Tillich He who knows nothing, doubts nothing. Spanish proverb. Wisdom begins in wonder.- Socrates Val eerder in my sop as in my rede--Langenhoven Seek in the past everything that is good and clean and build thereon your future...Paul Kruger Vriende moet soos boeke wees, min, maar goed uitgesoek --Langenhoven Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected --Langenhoven Goeie boeke en musiek verryk jou siel --Langenhoven Good books and music enrich your soul --Langenhoven Let those love now who never loved before. Let those who always loved now love the more. --Thomas Parnell Love is like quicksand--the deeper you fall in, the harder it is to get out. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same. There is no failure except in no longer trying--Elbert Hubbard. The secret of success is the ability to survive failure --Noel Coward. You cannot step twice in the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in--Knowing not how to listen is knowing not how to speak--Heraclitus, Fragments.

The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. Leo Tolstoy Love is like a knife, it can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that will last a lifetime. A rising tide raises all boats! - JFKennedy And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.Kahlil Gibran Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.Tarrasch Chess is a beautiful mistress.Larsen Chess is as much a mystery as women.Purdy Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.Benjamin Franklin
