Beautiful roads do not always lead to beautiful places! Heaven may be hidden at the end of an ugly road! Do not be deceived by the beginning; try to see the end!

They say "Wine is Satan's falcon,"; apparently he uses it in hunting men!

There is always a melancholic silence before entering every New Year!
