Welcome Visitors

Welcome to my personal blog. I have another blog, Herbert's Place, but that one limits me to what I sometimes want to publish, because it is mainly used to promote my books. As it says in the header, I want to use this blog to write about things that have nothing to do with my books. There is no real theme here. I'll be writing about anything that causes me to either be happy or somethings that concerns me. It could be political, travel, a hobby, or anything else. So come and visit me sometimes.

#Small Words of Wisdom



Here are some truths I posted on my blog January 1st, 2007. I thought it would be a good idea to post them again. I did add a few new ones. Most of them are probably not new and someone else may have said them in different words, but these words might give somebody something to ponder.



Small Words of Wisdom:
By Herbert Grosshans

To be timid is to fail.
Success does not come to the one who never tries.
Speak and be heard, stay silent and be ignored.
Only a fool swims against the stream.
To reach the end one must begin.
To give up is the way of the coward.
Acting the fool makes you one.
Love comes to the one who gives it...so does Hate.
An evil act does not spawn a good act.
Even a tiny spark can produce a large flame.
To deny the truth is to lie.
Even the tallest tree was once a tiny seed.
To give in does not show weakness...to be stubborn does.
To try does not guarantee success, but not to try guarantees failure.
To give is to receive.
Lie and you shall be lied to.
A cheater is a liar.
To be trusted one must show his face, to hide behind a mask invites mistrust.
To forgive does not mean one is forgiven.
An avalanche begins with a tiny snowflake.
One cannot be a teacher without being a student.
Don't shout into a canyon if you don't want to hear the echo.
A do-gooder usually does more harm than good.
Fanatics are the most dangerous people on Earth
Just because you are religious does not mean you are a good person.
Committing atrocities in the name of God guarantees you a place in Hell.
Just because everyone does it, does not make it right
