Hello Sandra:
A most thought provoking set of quotations here, dear Sandra, and all on the theme of words, something which can so often be used without thinking and yet have untold powers for good or ill.
In Life's greatest moments of happiness or sadness, words often fail or seem inadequate. But, when at such a distance, words are all we have to let you know that we care. And care we do!!
Becky says
Brilliant selection! I enjoyed them all. Have a blessed day, dear one!
