Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. -George Bernard Shaw




The Spring exposition,
attended by
H. M. the Sun,
and his consort,
Mrs Breeze.


The Duchess of Green
adjusts her hat,
bending
to whisper,
to a tree-in-waiting
attired in pale yellow
who listens
and shrugs...

" These young trees,
will never learn....
Look
at all these
sensible greys,
deep greens,
conservative ,
woody ,
browns.
I never thought
I'd see
someone
in a flouncy white
and purple,
in the front row,
acting up like this !"

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance? -Edgar Bergen



It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress. -Mark Twain



A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. -Franklin D. Roosevelt



We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another...- Luciano de Crescenzo



Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then-we elected them.
-Lily



I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. -Bob Dylan

  7. Your quotes are just great - (plenty in there that could be tweaked to fit UK government, I'm sure!) - and your photos, as usual, are beautiful. I love the sunset.

    Thanks for stopping by my place. Have a good weekend.

  12. GREAT quotes and pictures as always; I hadn't heard that exact FDR quote (although I knew about his sentiments of course) -- but isn't it a terrific one for right at this exact moment in time?

    So glad you're back.
