This is a miscellany. It shares with you words of wisdom not only from sages, gurus and the famous but from ordinary people too.  Sometimes though the words have survived their source is unknown.

The aim is to spark thinking, to enlighten and to generate an understanding that dilemmas we so often think are unique to us are – and have been – experienced by many other people.

Occasionally too, there will be a saying, article or feature posted here in the hope that it will simply make you smile.
