I don't think there is any substitute for good manners. Sometimes I wonder where they've all gone.

Thought for the day - Sunday 1 April - Sunday Special

In honour of the day, some wisdom about fools...

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Harold MacMillan

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
Euripides

I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should seem a fool, but be wise.
Charles de Montesquieu

A fool must now and then be right, by chance.
William Cowper

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
Samuel Butler



And finally...

A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
Joseph Roux

Isn't that just such a lovely truth? I wish there were more people who were like dogs.

I can do anything a dog can do.

Except lick my own backside (I cleaned that up slightly). :tongue:

So glad to hear that!

I have yet to meet a man who can listen to me with great concentration without saying a word, whilst I rant, rave or rabbit on, and who will then give me a hug immediately afterwards and / or then go to bed and stay there

A pessimist is a man who, given the choice of two evils, chooses both.

A pessimist is a man who, given the choice of two evils, chooses both.

A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. --- An optimist is a man who really hopes that they are.
