    'Without change, there would be no butterflies.'

    A great one when times feel tough: something beautiful may blossom from the transition. This was particularly pertinent when diagnosed with my spinal condition when 13. It has certainly shaped me into who I am today, but I was resistant to the change at the time. I even had this written repeatedly on my spinal brace so I'd never forget!

    l have one. 
    Never judge a person by the way they look. Judge them by the way their bank balance looks. Sounds good to me

    l agree on that one. l fell asleep while having an argument with my wife. She woke me up and said. You never listen to me. And l said l agree with that.  The leftover dinner from Christmas was all out of proportion on top of my head.

    Sandy_123 l agree with that one. One has got to be Canny to catch the immoral perpetrators in the act. 

    l did that about 15 years ago. When l help a person to get a place to live in and l help that person with food and other bits. Only to be betrayed. So l pretended l knew nothing about this person. And continued with my plan.l went to a local media company and gave them the info they needed. That person was exposed right across the front line headlines with all the people that person was also trying to con. That is when the threats started. , well, l can go on and on. But,l succeeded in getting that person deported, when l found where the person fleed to.

    l sometimes cry with desperation to why life is full of bad people out to betray those who want to help. But if it happens again[and it did ] l will always remain canny ,
