Quote and Meditation: Suffocate a Thought

“You can suffocate a thought by expressing it with too many words.”

— Frank A. Clark, U.S. writer & cartoonist (1911-91)

“But Ruth said, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people shall be my people and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord do thus to me, and worse, if anything but death separates you and me!’ ”

— Ruth 1:16-17
