Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?

Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do. Will Rogers |

Lovely images Sylvia! I always enjoy the quotes you provide to go along with your pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI guess that is why Twain and Rogers will never be forgotten. Their thoughts are timeless. It also shows that our culture matures very slowly. Every era seems to repeat the same mistakes. The “dirty fingernails and cleaner minds” quote is priceless. Love your awesome sky photos and wish I could sail away in the beautiful scene of sparkling waters.
ReplyDeleteThese quotes would lead one to believe that Will Rogers was listening to today's news.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are just amazing. I thought each one was wonderful, but the next one I looked at was even better. Your final photo is gorgeous. I love the color in the cloud.
Hi, from Halkidiki Greece
ReplyDeleteYour blog is interesting and the photos they are beautiful !!

Hi Sylvia,
ReplyDeleteThese skies are gorgeous, and the quotes too appropriate. I have had little exposure to Will Rogers; I have missed something. A trip to the library is in order!
I just want to know if I take to your skies, will I be patted down or scanned? :)
ReplyDeleteI want to find a new inventive word for beautiful, stunning and astonishing becuase that is how I feel when I see your photos...let's see...Beau-stun-ish?
We have our political comic commentators but they don't see as adept at the one line as Clemens and Rogers.
ReplyDeleteAs for skies, we had blue ones yesterday and today but they say it is clouds and rain for the foreseeable future, including our drive to LA next Thursday.
Thank you Sylvia for your beautiful skies and the wise quotes by Will Rogers.
ReplyDeleteHe is using a gentle and polite language on your politicians.
I would be censored if i write in public my opinion about ours.
Have a great evening.

you always wow us with a superb collection of sky images. and the accompanying quotes are fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteOh Sylvia, these photos are just magnificent! They are all gorgeous, but the last one is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteMolto bello questo tuo cielo per SW !
ReplyDeleteCiao Myriam :)
Hi Sylvia! The first photo is so soft coloured! It's like a scenery of a fairy-tale. Your other photos are also stunning and the quotes are for ever appropriate.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and comment. What you were thinking about the prisoner who wrote the poem on the wall, kept me also busy wondering what happened to him or her. It is such a strong statement.
I wish you too a very happy weekend.
Beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend :)
I get the distinct impression that Will Rogers was NOT a fan of senators. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce more a great collection of fabulous photographs and heart-warming quotes.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely shots, Sylvia!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous ..................!
ReplyDeleteWhat huge and wonderful skies you have had this week. Those cloud formations are beautiful as are your photos.
ReplyDeletePics are lovely but the quotes a little "ouch", no? But I have to agree, we have seen more courage and convictions from politicians in the past... have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely images....and politics is a brave man's profession, no wonder why all cowards try to pimp in it
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery accompanied by beautiful quotes. Have a nice weekend, Sylvia.

ReplyDeleteYou've done it again, Sylvia, with your skies; they are simply terrific. And I share your and Will's frustration with politicians. What can possibly be so hard about just doing the right thing?
