English: Charcoal/pastel portrait of Axel Munthe (1857-1949) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.” — Axel Munthe
(Axel Foley . . . I’m familiar with! Axel Rose . . . I’m familiar with! But, Axel Munthe is new to me. But, he makes a nice quote. Here is the remainder of it: “He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.” This, I can relate to. Fortunately, I have a blog where I can at least rant and rave what I perceive to be the truth. Whether, or not, you all decide to listen to me is entirely up to you! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Unc Solved the quote, but the name gave me a lot of consternation. Had to cheat a bit.
I first tried Abel Munthe, Rick!

Hej hej! Thanks for adding me to to your related articles. For anyone who is wondering…the connection is the name Axel. I went to a small island where a local painter, Axel Sjöberg, lived. My blog post is some photos of that island and a sculpture honouring the artist.
