All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway. Harry S. Truman |
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so. Gore Vidal |
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes. Andrew Jackson |
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. Franklin D. Roosevelt |

I guess the rich and powerful have not evolved much since the time of Andrew Jackson. :)
Words and wisdom complement your lovely views!
Hope you having a great day!
I laughed out loud at your quotes, Sylvia! Might have woken up my son...(It's just after midnight here in Amsterdam). The first pic left my breathless. I wanted to exhale again but then the second one came by and the third...Wow!
Wishing you a happy weekend.

such wise words sylvia and magnificent peaceful skies...thank your for your kind words re: my friends.
I agree, it is good to retreat from all of the worlds troubles and contemplate natures beauty.
Fantabulous captures Sylvia. They are all beautiful, and the third one held me mesmerized. Hope you have a great weekend.
WARM shots, dearest
As always...the header of your blog is amazing.congrats
beautiful captures!!
Brilliant sky pictures! I am trying and trying to get something like these, but no success:(
Beautiful capture. The quotes are great as always.
Once again it's your banner pic that's got me :))
Amazing views of the sky. The golden sky is my favorite.
your skies are jaw-dropping gorgeous Sylvia. smashing photos all, but I especially like the second of the water and the turquoise sky. great quotes too as usual (love the last). happy weekend to you Sylvia.
almost forgot - love that header!!!
Gorgeous. That last quote has me smiling as I enjoy your Western light!
Andrew Jackson's quote applies to his view about the overwhelming strength of the rich and powerful in the way they used the Bank of the United States which held all the government's money for their own benefit. Ruthless use of power by the rich is not new to America. Jackson withdrew all U.S. funds from the bank, put the money in smaller banks and destroyed its power. Sound familiar?
What a header!
Great shots. I love the Roosevelt quote.

I had to pause at the header shot. :)
Great pic of skies over there.
The 3rd shot is magnificent! And so cool to see those quotes that show up man's frailty against the spectacular, stupendous skies!!
Delicious heavens, as always. Today I prefer the warmth of the last two. I wish you a happy weekend.
Beautiful, Sylvia. I particularly like your second shot - so well composed:-)
the FDR quote is wonderful
I always love your skies
Hope sends big hugs
Very beautiful :0)
Sylvia, the 3rd shot is breathtaking! WOW!
You've posted a really fine collection of SWF images, Sylvia!
Oh how delightful is your banner Sylvia...I could hardly get beyond it to view your entries;) Your thumbnail for SWF wowed me~
Sylvia, you constantly have so many stupendous skies to share. What is your secret, do you ask for specific variables or do the heavenly powers over-exert themselves to please you of their own accord?
I could get lost in your magnificent sunsets.
Keep it up.
Very beautiful skies. - Margy
Stunning skies Sylvia and I like the quotes you have posted too.
Beautiful pix. Me I liked the HST and FDR quotes the best. (um, any guesses about my political leanings?)....
I'm glad we drove only a short day today =- we got a good walk outside, got some pictures, and now I have time to catch up on my favorite bloggers. Yay!
thanks for sharing these amazing photos and quotations. :)
