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

12 Comments CherryPie on Jan 17th 2010
I doubt that is correct! Or perhaps it is.
It is a tricky one, it makes me think
I must be a wise fool.
Lovely garden,isn’t it?
To be safe I will just comment on the garden Yes it is nice
Who’s wise enough to know if he’s wise?
I leave it to my friends to advise me on that
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’.
I like the quote about man being a rational animal
PS Gorgeous pic of Snowshill Manor garden; love that area, and the way the place seems so hidden away.
There is a 10 minute walk to the house and garden so it is rather secluded
Another jigsaw picture!
I hadn’t thought of that, but it would make a good one wouldn’t it? Very difficult though!
