Sometimes in life we come in a situation where certain quotes do speak volumes.
Our Double Almond Tree was blooming and I used this photo for the quote.
"You can demand courtesy but you have to earn respect." — Lawrence Goldstone

Ik moest even opzoeken wat courtesy betekent,mijn kennis reikt niet zo ver maar het is waar.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJij red je anders wonderwel in het Engels! Ja, het is een hele goeie van deze schrijver.
Liefs,
Mariette
Almond is cute, saying very wise and true. Regards.
ReplyDeleteDearest Giga,
DeleteWe love those tender almond blossoms each year!
A true saying indeed; we all know about it.
Hugs,
Mariette
Sadly, at work, I'm surrounded by some who demand respect even though they know little about courtesy. :( Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThat is indeed very sad as this cannot be reversed. Respect you earn by being always courteous to others!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe quote is such a good one and so true. The almond blossom are so pretty and I was going to ask the same question about if they give almonds and see you have answered it.
Happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteNice quote and a very lovely double almond blossom. It remains a rather small shrub so probably this is a different variety and only for good looks of these precious flowers.
Hugs and happy weekend to you!
Mariette
Dear Mariette,i like reading quotes!
ReplyDeleteI have never see a Double Almond Tree,before!

Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteThank you and all of us that love reading like quotes I guess.
The Double Almond is actually more of a shrub as it is not big like a tree. But very pretty in the spring.
Happy weekend to you as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteein kleiner, aber gehaltvoller Post mit Tiefe und Schönheit. Herzlichen Dank.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna
Liebe Johanna,
DeleteJa, es stimmt und vielen Dank für deine lieben Wörter.
Schönes Wochenende und alles Liebe,
Mariette
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteZolang het welgemeende hoffelijkheid is die uit het hart komt en geen praatjes of gebaar om er zelf beter van te worden heb ik er geen moeite mee,helaas ondervind ik dat handelen uit eigenbelang de laatste tijd nog al eens.
Mijn zoon moest deze week zelfs via het bedrijf waar hij werkt een dag cursus volgen over hoe omgaan met klanten,dat omgaan bestond hoofdzakelijk uit iemand stroop om de mond smeren omdat je daar nog altijd meer vliegen(lees klanten) mee vangt dan met azijn.
De appel valt niet ver van de boom want zowel mijn zoon als ik hebben een broertje dood aan dit soort praktijken van zieltjes winnen.
Treed de medemens tegemoet met respect,waardigheid,eerlijkheid en beleefdheid omdat je het meent en voer geen toneelspel op.
En respect geven is respect krijgen.
Geniet van je mooie amandelbloesem en fijn weekeind,
Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa, natuurlijk moet het welgemeende hoffelijkheid zijn vanuit het hart. We hebben op deze wereld jammer genoeg al téveel acteurs; betaalde en van het soort die het uitbaten. Jámmer!
Nee, zo'n opgevoerd toneelspel is ook helemaal níks voor mij! Je laatste regel over respect geven is respect krijgen is zó waar en dat is ook blijvend!
Wij genieten intens van onze mooie lente hier en wensen jullie ook een heel fijn weekend.
Liefs,
Mariette
Hello dear,
ReplyDeletemeu marido ficou feliz de saber que seu marido também é Rotariano. Ele é presidente do Rotary aqui de Osório-RS. Eu faço parte da casa da amizade. Temos feito muitos planos para a cidade. É muito legal participar. Uma pena que nos falte tempo para atuar mais na cidade. Linda frase. Esse é um assunto muito importante pois temos que dar respeito e carinho para termos também em troca respeito e carinho.
Lhes desejo um feliz final de semana.
Bjos
Anajá querida,
DeleteComo o mundo é pequeno! Meu marido é membro desde 11 de maio de 1976 e foi presidente do clube holandês em 1978-1979. Então isso vai um longo caminho volta já. Ele nos ajudou em todos os lugares que nós vivíamos como rotarianos são as melhores pessoas para ajudar uns aos outros! Sim, a citação é uma boa... e devemos agir como tal, todos os dias.
Abraços,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas Zitat passt gut zu der Blüte.
Wer keinen Respekt mehr hat, verliert
mit der Zeit auch seine Würde.
Einen guten Start ins Wochenende wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa die Sprache der Blüte und da drinnen noch das Zitat passt zusammen.
Du hast so Recht hier und wir sollen uns alle hüten davor.
Ganz liebe und sonnige Wochenend Grüsse,
Mariette
How very true, dear Mariette!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour double almond tree flowers are lovely!!!!
My 'regular' almond tree is presently full of little almonds, lol!!!!
I wish you a nice weekend, dear friend!
Many hugs!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteWe cannot get around that one; it's a powerful quote.
Would love to see such real almond producing trees. We do have them also in California and guess world wide there is a rather huge production of almonds. LOVE them!
Happy weekend to you dear friend and enjoy it with your loved ones.

This double flowering almond tree does not bear almonds though, just being cultivated for its beautiful spring blossoms.
