Meandering . . .

Today is the birthday of Johann Kaspar Lavater (November 15, 1741 – January 2, 1801), poet and physiognomist.

"Mistrust the person who finds everything good, and the person who finds everything evil, and mistrust even more the person who is indifferent to everything." - Johann Kaspar Lavater

"Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?" - Johann Kaspar Lavater

"Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly hear grumbling in his closet." - Johann Kaspar Lavater

"If you wish to appear agreeable in society, you must consent to be taught many things which you know already." - Johann Kaspar Lavater
