Time heals all wounds and wounds all heels.
Who said it?
Most people would attribute this to Chaucer. In Troilus & Criseyde he says (in Old English): "As tyme hem hurt, a tyme doth hem cure"
However some people may argue that someone said this even earlier, Menander (342BC-291BC) in Greek: "Time is the healer of all necessary evils."
My father, Victor J. Dolan said it this way.
But apparently he was combining 2 expressions into one.
"Time heals all wounds" is an American Proverb.
"Time wounds all heels," was a variation attributed to a commedienne who regularly worked on the radio, during its heyday, Jane Sherwood Ace.

I don't know whether it's just me or if perhaps anyone else is experiencing issues
with your blog. It looks like some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let
me know if this is happening to them as well?
Sorry, don't have that problem when I view it.
