There is so much good in the worst of us
And so much bad in the best of us
That it hardly becomes any of us
To talk about the rest of us.

I think this is pretty much self-explanatory. None of us is perfect, and we would prefer our imperfections, real or imagined, not be passed around like a plate of cookies until every last crumb has been eagerly devoured by an attentive audience.
Hi Linda - what a great post and I love the accompanying photo .. I have to say I totally agree ... I'll keep my imperfections and definitely don't want them bandied about!

Hi Hilary, glad you like the picture. I was looking for something that would relate to the quote - which is most definitely true. Like you, I know want my faults and flaws up for discussion.
ReplyDeleteWhile this quote may be self-explanatory, I loved what you said about our imperfections "not [being] passed around like a plate of cookies until every last crumb has been eagerly devoured by an attentive audience."
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderfully written and an excellent quote in itself. I think the Quote Translator is becoming a Quote Master, herself. :~)
Sara, thank you! That is a huge compliment!
