To God be humble,
to thy friend be kind
and with thy neighbour, gladly lend and borrow;
his chance tonight,
it may be thine tomorrow.

photos in groups of 6 or so, in order that you can all see the

upon you.
I doubt she had read Montaigne, but folk wisdom is
watered-down philosophy and not always diluted!

who had not seen the silhouette
