They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind. ~ Scottish Proverb

"Chess is a fairy tale of 1,001 blunders." — Savielly Tartakower

"Pawns are the soul of chess." — François-André Danican Philidor

"To free your game, take off some of your adversary's men, if possible for nothing." — Captain Bertain, The Noble Game of Chess (1735)

"I play my king all over the board. I make him fight!" — Wilhelm Steinitz

"A righteous wife can make a poor man feel like a king." — Boonaa Mohammed

The laughter of a child lights up the house. ~ Swahili proverb

"There is no jewel in the world comparable to learning; no learning so excellent both for Prince and subject, as knowledge of laws; and no knowledge of any laws so necessary for all estates and for all causes, concerning goods, lands or life, as the common laws of England." ― Sir Edward Coke

"Without integrity and honor, having everything means nothing." ― Robin Sharma

"I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind, and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want, and much more than I need. But this power of mind is a universal one, available to the humblest person as it is to the greatest." ― Andrew Carnegie

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

"We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us." ― Winston S. Churchill

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ― Edmund Burke was an Irish statesman, philosopher, and writer who lived from 1729 to 1797

"It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters." ― Edmund Burke was an Irish statesman, philosopher, and writer who lived from 1729 to 1797

"If you're playing with the best, you just rise up to that level." ― Tony Goldwyn

"There is nothing that disgusts a man like getting beaten at chess by a woman." ― Charles Dudley Warner

"No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward." ― Amar Gopal Bose

"Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well." ― Jack London

Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, <"It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' ">

"Life is like a game in which God shuffles the cards, the devil deals them and we have to play the trumps." ― Yugoslavian Proverb

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." ― William Shakespeare

"In life, as in chess, forethought wins." ― Charles Buxton

"Help (ALL) your pieces help you." ― Paul Morphy (That means no sleeping pieces on original back row squares, and don't make so many slow pawn moves that leave behind weak squares easily penetrated.)

"If you don't know what to do, find your worst piece and look for a better square." ― Gerald Schwarz

- Ask yourself "Which army is better off if the queens come off the board?" It might be time to simplify, trade off like pieces to enter the endgame (or avoid such trades when down material) and then activate thy king as a fighting piece.

"When you see a good move – WAIT! – look for a better one." ― Emanuel Lasker The Portuguese chess player and author Pedro Damiano (1480–1544) first wrote this in his book "Questo libro e da imparare giocare a scachi et de li partiti" published in Rome, Italy, in 1512.

Always do a blunder check before you move. Many a good threatening move that seemed forcing has been counterattacked, negated. Did that move set a pin? Can it be counter pinned? What squares were left behind now unprotected?

"The best way to get a feeling for your pieces is to talk to them. Before you make a move, just ask each piece how happy it is. The one which is most unhappy you will improve, until every piece you have is happy." ― chess coach for GM Noël Studer, then age 10.

"If the defender is forced to give up the center, then every possible attack follows almost of itself." ― Siegbert Tarrasch

"What we play is life." ― Louis Armstrong

"As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well." ― Steffi Graf

"Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his opponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending." ― Robert J. Fischer

"The ideal in chess can only be a collective image, but in my opinion it is Capablanca who most closely approaches this... His book was the first chess book that I studied from cover to cover. Of course, his ideas influenced me." ― Anatoly Karpov

"With his death, we have lost a very great chess genius who's like we shall never see again." ― Alexander Alekhine (on Capablanca)

"Alekhine was the rock-thrower, Capablanca the man who made it all seem easy." ― Hans Ree

"The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave." ― Patrick Henry

When it's your move, pretend for a moment that it's actually your opponent's move. What good moves can your opponent make right now? This makes it much easier to see your opponent's threats, IMO. FTB says "What will my opponent do next if I let him/her? What move will bother me the most?"

GM Maurice Ashley's sage advice: ‘Embrace chaos' he says, meaning that sometimes one has to accept chaos as an integral part of reality, not resisting it.

"Success is never so interesting as struggle" ― Willa Cather

"The habit of holding a Man in the hand, and moving it first to one square and then to another, in order to engage the assistance of the eye in deciding where it shall actually be placed, is not only annoying to the adversary but a practical infraction of the touch-and-move principle." ― Howard Staunton

"The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand." ― Sun Tzu

"A bad plan is better than none at all." ― Frank Marshall

"No battle was ever won according to plan, but no battle was ever won without one." ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

Alex Lenderman (GM-elect) gave the advice - "It's all about good pieces, get good pieces!" That was helpful to blogger. Of course once they're good you have to know what to do with 'em (tactics). FTB says: Make yourself a list of possible targets (seeds of destruction) and memorize it -- keep the list by your computer. You need to know what you should be looking for, and you just might find it.

"Win with grace, lose with dignity!" ― Susan Polgar

"What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, personal and professional discipline, focus, concentration, strong nerves, the will to win, and yes, talent!" ― Susan Polgar

"No matter how successful you are (or will be), never ever forget the people who helped you along the way, and pay it forward! Don't become arrogant and conceited just because you gained a few rating points or made a few bucks. Stay humble and be nice, especially to your fans!" ― Susan Polgar

"A cat, I am told, has nine lives. If that is true, I know how a cat feels." ― Caryl Chessman

Fischer supposedly said "Don't give up... even if you're in big trouble... Chess is a kaleidoscope- it's ever changing- ...and opportunities suddenly appear."

"You can't hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles." ― Hubert H. Humphrey

All that glitters is not gold – this line can be found in a text from c.1220: ‘ Nis hit nower neh gold al that ter schineth.'

A friend in need is a friend indeed – a proverb from c.1035 say this: ‘Friend shall be known in time of need.'

All's well that ends well – a line from the mid-13th century is similar: ‘Wel is him te wel ende mai.' Meanwhile, Henry Knighton's Chronicle from the late 14th-century one can read: ‘ If the ende be wele, than is alle wele.'

Hay dos maneras de hermosura: una del alma y otra del cuerpo; la del alma campea y se muestra en el entendimiento, en la honestidad, en el buen proceder, en la liberalidad y en la buena crianza, y todas estas partes caben y pueden estar en un hombre feo; y cuando se pone la mira en esta hermosura, y no en la del cuerpo, suele nacer el amor con ímpetu y con ventajas. (There are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body; that of the soul shows and demonstrates itself in understanding, in honesty, in good behavior, in generosity and in good breeding, and all these things can find room and exist in an ugly man; and when one looks at this type of beauty, and not bodily beauty, love is inclined to spring up forcefully and overpoweringly.) ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

Cuando una puerta se cierra, otra se abre. (When one door is closed, another is opened.) ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

Dijo la sartén a la caldera, quítate allá ojinegra. (The frying pan said to the cauldron, "Get out of here, black-eyed one." This is believed to be the source of the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black.") ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Where chess puzzles were posted daily,
You'd solve them with glee,
And in victory,
You'd feel like a true chess prodigy!

Connecticut: Windsor
Established in: 1633

Settlers from Plymouth Colony built the first trading house in Windsor in 1633 on an expanse of land they bought from Native Americans who were living there.

The Kings of Chess: A History of Chess, Traced Through the Lives of Its Greatest Players by William Hartston William Hartson traces the development of the game from its Oriental origins to the present day through the lives of its greatest exponents - men like Howard Staunton, who transformed what had been a genteel pastime into a competitive science; the brilliant American Paul Morphy, who once played a dozen simultaneous games blindfold; the arrogant and certified insane Wilhelm Steinitz; the philosopher and mathematician Emanual Lasker; Bobby Fischer, perhaps the most brilliant and eccentric of them all; and many other highly gifted individuals. Hartson depicts all their colorful variety with a wealth of rare illustrations.

"The Great Escape" by Charles Bukowski

listen, he said, you ever seen a bunch of crabs in a bucket?
no, I told him.
well, what happens is that now and then one crab will climb up on top of the others
and begin to climb toward the top of the bucket, then, just as he's about to escape
another crab grabs him and pulls him back
down.
really? I asked.
really, he said, and this job is just like that, none of the others want anybody to get out of
here. that's just the way it is
in the postal service!
I believe you, I said.
just then the supervisor walked up and said,
you fellows were talking.
there is no talking allowed on this
job.
I had been there for eleven and one-half
years.
I got up off my stool and climbed right up the
supervisor
and then I reached up and pulled myself right
out of there.
it was so easy it was unbelievable.
but none of the others followed me.
and after that, whenever I had crab legs
I thought about that place.
I must have thought about that place
maybe 5 or 6 times
before I switched to lobster.

<In chess, <en passant> (French: ɑ̃ pasɑ̃, lit. "in passing") describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance. This is an exception or special case in the rules of chess. The capturing pawn moves to the square that the enemy pawn passed over, as if the enemy pawn had advanced only one square. The rule ensures that a pawn cannot use its two-square move to safely skip past an enemy pawn.

Capturing <en passant> is permitted only on the turn immediately after the two-square advance; it cannot be done on a later turn. The capturing move is sometimes notated by appending the abbreviation e.p. Wikipedia article: En passant#/media/File:Ajedrez animaci%C3%B3n en passant.gif>

This poem is dedicated to all female chessplayers on Caissa's Web.

Sweet Caissa

Oh, Sweet Caissa, Goddess of chess
in the name of this holistic game
I pray Thee: bless my noble aim
to render all my opponents lame
in my holy quest for worldly fame,
to be Supreme no more no less.
In awe I heard this Sweet Caissa say
"Daughter go forth and smite them all,
stoutly charge your knight sitting tall
while flying over the castle's wall
to slay all men in your deadly call."
Now in fear I hide and will no longer play.

The Earthen Pot and the Iron Pot

An iron pot proposed
To an earthen pot a journey.
The latter was opposed,
Expressing the concern he
Had felt about the danger
Of going out a ranger.
He thought the kitchen hearth
The safest place on earth
For one so very brittle.
"For you, who art a kettle,
And have a tougher skin,
There's nothing to keep you in."
"I'll be your body-guard,"
Replied the iron pot;
"If anything that's hard
Should threaten you a jot,
Between you I will go,
And save you from the blow."
This offer him persuaded.
The iron pot paraded
Himself as guard and guide
Close at his cousin's side.
Now, in their tripod way,
They hobble as they may;
And eke together bolt
At every little jolt, –
Which gives the crockery pain;
But presently his comrade hits
So hard, he dashes him to bits,
Before he can complain.

Take care that you associate
With equals only, lest your fate
Between these pots should find its mate.

In Melitopol, terrible terror has been reigning for over a year. It's quiet, you can't see it on the streets - reported CNN. Anyone who has rejected a Russian passport may become a victim of repression. They can't access the hospital, can't function normally. The "incredible" occupant also takes away the land. Arrests and torture, unfortunately, are common practices.

Partisans are engaged in attacking Russian logistics and eliminating collaborators and Russian officers. They actively cooperate with Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) and are ready for sabotage activities in case the front arrives.

Before the war, Melitopol had a population of 154,000. The city, located in the southeastern part of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia region, was occupied by the Russians on March 1, 2022 Eastern Time. Since then, it has been waiting for liberation, but that does not mean that the inhabitants are idle. From the beginning of the war, there has been a partisan movement in and around the city.

<<Steinitz's Theory> 1. At the beginning of the game, Black and White are equal.

2. The game will stay equal with correct play on both sides.

3. You can only win by your opponent's mistake.

4. Any attack launched in an equal position will not succeed, and the attacker will suffer.

5. You should not attack until an advantage is obtained.

6. When equal, do not seek to attack, but instead, try to secure an advantage.

7. Once you have an advantage, attack or you will lose it.>

"A wise man will know what game to play to-day, and play it. We must not be governed by rigid rules, as by the almanac, but let the season rule us. The moods and thoughts of man are revolving just as steadily and incessantly as nature's. Nothing must be postponed. Take time by the forelock. Now or never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this, or the like of this. Where the good husbandman is, there is the good soil. Take any other course, and life will be a succession of regrets. Let us see vessels sailing prosperously before the wind, and not simply stranded barks. There is no world for the penitent and regretful." — Henry David Thoreau

<<Bobby Fischer> (Andrews/Lazy Susan)

Bobby Fischer beat Spassky in Iceland in '72. I know a girl who's better looking but who thinks like <Bobby Fischer> too. When <Bobby Fischer> was a kid they knew he was a prodigy. I know a girl who's somewhat older but no less of an authority.

I wish I had the smarts to understand her charts. If I don't concentrate she'll have me in checkmate.

In Tampa Bay and Lafayette they all know <Bobby Fischer>'s name. I know a girl who made her mark in smaller cities but her fame's the same. When <Bobby Fischer> made his comeback in the '90s he was worse for wear. I know a girl who made a comeback but her mind was altogether there.

She said: "I drink chocolate milk, from a cow I built. "Doot n'doot doot doot. Doot n'doot doot doot."

They're all saying that you'll never play again. They're all saying that you're finished, that you're washed up as a friend. All my life I've 'feather-dustered' but that's not how it's going to end. Oh no.

Paper currency
Before money, trade was the commercial exchange of goods and services. The money took various forms throughout history, including precious metals, coins, foods, vegetables, livestock, and basically anything else useful as tradable bartering assets. Again, China was the first to use paper money in the 9th century, and Europe followed suit in the late 1600s. Despite having no intrinsic value and being used as legal-binding notes issued by banks to promise future payments, paper money soon became the most common bartering asset to purchase goods and services. Paper money started a new era of trade that transformed the face of economics on a global scale.

<<Do these things to win a chess game:>

Know the Rules of Chess - Also know how the clock works, and chess notation

Make Good Opening Moves - Control the center, move a different piece, castle, and connect the rooks

Develop All Your Pieces (not Pawns) - Occupy safe squares, extend threats about, aim at the opposing queen w/a gain of time

Limit Your Pawn Moves - Advanced pawns are slow, need support, cannot retreat. Instead, the speed and range of your pieces can do more damage.

Evaluate the Position Carefully - Was that a legal move? If so, write it down. Am I in check now; next turn? Why did s/he do that move? What will s/he do next?

Checkmate is the Goal - Always consider all possible Checks, Captures, Tactics. Aim at Immobile units, Unprotected units, or threaten once-protected units twice.

Seek Tactics: Fork, Pin & Pile on, Skewer, X-Ray, Discovery, Remove the Guard

Don't Give Away Material for Free - Guard your pieces and (re-)capture for value. Sometimes you aim at opposing units, sometimes aim at your own for protection.

Apply the Rate of Exchange - Don't trade a more valuable piece for less value.

Take Advantage of Opponent's Weakness - Cramp, Weak Pawns, Weak Squares

Coordinate An Attack on the King - Plan ahead, one piece cannot mate alone

Safeguard Your Own King (and Queen) - The opponent has similar aims. Royalty must take flight when under fire, abandoning their defensive duties.

Principles Change in the Endgame: After many trades, the Endgame arrives when there's no worry of checkmate. Now use your king, gain the opposition

Simplify, trade like pieces when ahead on material - Trade off pawns if behind

Advance the pawn majority to create and promote a passed pawn - This new piece often will give checkmate shortly

Contemplate Draws: Agreed, Insufficient, 3-Fold Repeat, Stalemate, 50-Move rule

Always Be a Good Sport, Win or Lose - Jerks and braggarts are losers by conduct. Shake hands. Don't forget to record the results for the tournament director

Prepare for next game - Analyze your last game, solve puzzles, replay GM games>

The Coming of Night by Emily Dickinson

How the old mountains drip with sunset,
And the brake of dun!
How the hemlocks are tipped in tinsel
By the wizard sun!

How the old steeples hand the scarlet,
Till the ball is full, --
Have I the lip of the flamingo
That I dare to tell?

Then, how the fire ebbs like billows,
Touching all the grass
With a departing, sapphire feature,
As if a duchess pass!

How a small dusk crawls on the village
Till the houses blot;
And the odd flambeaux no men carry
Glimmer on the spot!

Now it is night in nest and kennel,
And where was the wood,
Just a dome of abyss is nodding
Into solitude! --

These are the visions baffled Guido;
Titian never told;
Domenichino dropped the pencil,
Powerless to unfold.

Throughout your life, you will produce enough saliva to fill up two pools. The average human produces over 20,000 liters of saliva throughout their lifetime. That's enough to eventually fill up two swimming pools full of spit.

If you think that sounds like a long time, just remember: Rome wasn't built in a day, either.

"Humble and Grumble" by Eldred Herbert

Humble and Grumble were identical twins,
And Humble was ever so meek;
Grumble did nothing but grumble all day,
Some may even call him a freak.

Humble was happy and everyone's friend,
Grumble was jealous of course;
Humble was happy to follow the Lord,
But Grumble, an immoral source.

Humble was never seen wearing a frown,
And Grumble, ne'er seen with a smile;
Humble won friends by just being himself,
But, Grumble, he won them by guile.

So Grumble, please follow Humble, your twin,
And Humble, don't grumble, I pray,
For grumble will make you like Grumble, your twin,

Please Grumble, be humble today.

The Bear and the Amateur Gardener

A certain mountain bear, unlicked and rude,
By fate confined within a lonely wood,
A new Bellerophon, whose life,
Knew neither comrade, friend, nor wife, –
Became insane; for reason, as we term it,
Dwells never long with any hermit.
It's good to mix in good society,
Obeying rules of due propriety;
And better yet to be alone;
But both are ills when overdone.
No animal had business where
All grimly dwelt our hermit bear;
Hence, bearish as he was, he grew
Heart-sick, and longed for something new.
While he to sadness was addicted,
An aged man, not far from there,
Was by the same disease afflicted.
A garden was his favourite care, –
Sweet Flora's priesthood, light and fair,
And eke Pomona's – ripe and red
The presents that her fingers shed.
These two employments, true, are sweet
When made so by some friend discreet.
The gardens, gaily as they look,
Talk not, (except in this my book;)
So, tiring of the deaf and dumb,
Our man one morning left his home
Some company to seek,
That had the power to speak. –
The bear, with thoughts the same,
Down from his mountain came;
And in a solitary place,
They met each other, face to face.
It would have made the boldest tremble;
What did our man? To play the Gascon
The safest seemed. He put the mask on,
His fear contriving to dissemble.
The bear, unused to compliment,
Growled bluntly, but with good intent,
"Come home with me." The man replied:
"Sir Bear, my lodgings, nearer by,
In yonder garden you may spy,
Where, if you'll honour me the while,
We'll break our fast in rural style.
I have fruits and milk, – unworthy fare,
It may be, for a wealthy bear;
But then I offer what I have."
The bear accepts, with visage grave,
But not unpleased; and on their way,
They grow familiar, friendly, gay.
Arrived, you see them, side by side,
As if their friendship had been tried.
To a companion so absurd,
Blank solitude were well preferred,
Yet, as the bear scarce spoke a word,
The man was left quite at his leisure
To trim his garden at his pleasure.
Sir Bruin hunted – always brought
His friend whatever game he caught;
But chiefly aimed at driving flies –
Those hold and shameless parasites,
That vex us with their ceaseless bites –
From off our gardener's face and eyes.
One day, while, stretched on the ground
The old man lay, in sleep profound,
A fly that buzz'd around his nose, –
And bit it sometimes, I suppose, –
Put Bruin sadly to his trumps.
At last, determined, up he jumps;
"I'll stop your noisy buzzing now,"
Says he; "I know precisely how."
No sooner said than done.
He seized a paving-stone;
And by his modus operandi
Did both the fly and man die.

A foolish friend may cause more woe
Than could, indeed, the wisest foe.

The Cock and the Pearl

A cock scratched up, one day,
A pearl of purest ray,
Which to a jeweller he bore.
"I think it fine," he said,
"But yet a crumb of bread
To me were worth a great deal more."

So did a dunce inherit
A manuscript of merit,
Which to a publisher he bore.
"It's good," said he, "I'm told,
Yet any coin of gold
To me were worth a great deal more."

Proverbs 14:29-35

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered * exalts folly.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

32 The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

35 The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

An Old Man's Winter Night
by Robert Frost (1874-1963)

All out of doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars, That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand.
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age.
He stood with barrels round him — at a loss.
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; — and scared the outer night, Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things,
But nothing so like beating on a box.
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
His icicles along the wall to keep;
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted, And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept.
One aged man — one man — can't keep a house, A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It's thus he does it of a winter night.

Robert Frost (1874-1963) is one of America's most celebrated poets, whose work continues to resonate with readers today. His poetry, characterized by its accessible language and deceptively simple style, explores themes of nature, rural life, and the human condition. Frost's ability to capture the essence of everyday experiences, often with a touch of melancholy and ambiguity, has made his poems enduring classics.

Frost's writing is rooted in the pastoral tradition, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and people of New England. However, he transcends mere regionalism by imbuing his work with universal themes of loss, choice, and the search for meaning. While seemingly straightforward, his poems often contain layers of meaning that invite multiple interpretations. This depth, combined with his masterful use of imagery and symbolism, contributes to his lasting appeal.

Frost's contemporaries included other prominent figures of American Modernism, such as Wallace Stevens and Ezra Pound. Like them, he experimented with form and language, though his style remained more traditional. He was also influenced by earlier Romantic poets like William Wordsworth, who emphasized the importance of nature and personal experience in poetry. Frost's unique voice, blending traditional and modern elements, cemented his place as a major figure in American literature.

The Blossom
by William Blake

Merry, merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Seek your cradle narrow,
Near my bosom.
Pretty, pretty robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, pretty robin,
Near my bosom.

"Friend, you don't have to earn God's love or try harder. You're precious in His sight, covered by the priceless blood of Jesus, and indwelt by His Holy Spirit. Don't hide your heart or fear you're not good enough for Him to care for you. Accept His love, obey Him, and allow Him to keep you in His wonderful freedom." ― Charles F. Stanley

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

A house was built by <Socrates> That failed the public taste to please.
Some blamed the inside; some, the out; and all
Agreed that the apartments were too small.
Such rooms for him, the greatest sage of Greece!

"I ask," said he, "no greater bliss
Than real friends to fill even this."
And reason had good <Socrates> To think his house too large for these.
A crowd to be your friends will claim,
Till some unhandsome test you bring.
There's nothing plentier than the name;
There's nothing rarer than the thing.>

<In 1592, during the reign of King James VI, the Earl of Huntly was given a commission by the king to hunt down the <Earl of Moray> (who was married to Elizabeth, the king's cousin). He tracked him down to a house in Donibristle in Fife but the <Earl of Moray> would not surrender. The house was set on fire and the <Earl of Moray> was killed. During the fracas, Huntly gashed his face. "You have spoiled a better face than your own," said the dying <Earl of Moray>. The Morays were the hereditary keepers of Doune castle in Perthshire.

The Bonnie <Earl Of Moray> Ye Hielan's an' ye Lowlan's
O, where have ye been?
They hae slain the <Earl of Moray> And lain him on the green.

And he rode at the ring.

Ere she see the <Earl of Moray> Come soundin' through the toun.

Now way be to thee, Huntly
And wherefore did ye sae?
I bade you bring him wi' you
But forbade you him to slay.
He was a braw gallant
And he play'd at the ball
An' the Bonnie <Earl of Moray> Was a flower among them all.
Lang may his lady
Look from the Castle Doune,

Lang will his lady
Look frae the Castle Doune,
Ere she see the <Earl of Moray> Come soundin' through the toun.>
