"The chuppah does not promise that love or hope or pledges will keep out weather or catastrophe...The man and woman have left the desert of their loneliness. They have come from far away to be together. The flimsiness of the chuppah reminds them that the only thing that is real about a home is the people in it who love and choose to be together, to be a family. The only anchor that they will have will be holding onto each others' hands." -Debra Cash, "The Succah and the Chuppah"
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
