“On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom.” ~ Michel de Montaigne We are all affected with troubled times at some point in our lives . . and most of us survive with a support system that will probably involve family, friends and many hours of prayer. After the storm has passed we need to remember to humble ourselves and give thanks to those who have supported us, thanks for prayers being answered and if not answered for clarity been shown . . . Do you know what I mean? “True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” ~ C.S. Lewis

@inlemay Yes indeed, and it took a man from Belfast to be sensible enough to say it!

very lovely quotes there, although what caught me is the bird, it's almost like he is a bird shaped whole in the sunset, rather than a bird flying in front of one, as if sometimes, impressions arent always right.

I really need to read some of C S Lewis' non-fiction books. He has some wonderful sayings.
