Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Bertrand Russell

    I doubt that is correct! Or perhaps it is.

    To be safe I will just comment on the garden ;-) Yes it is nice :-)

    Who’s wise enough to know if he’s wise?

    BR said in his autobiography something along the lines of ‘I was brought up to believe man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence of that …’! Haven’t we all?
    Good choice, Cherie; reminds me of the famous line from Yeats’ poem ‘Easter 1916′ about ‘the best’ and ‘the worst’.

    PS Gorgeous pic of Snowshill Manor garden; love that area, and the way the place seems so hidden away.
