Strawberry Thief by William Morris
With my love of all things 1940's maybe I should choose this-
Produced by the British government in 1939, to boost the morale of the public should there be an invasion. This was never used and remained hidden until recent years. Now it's every where!
Pembrokeshire
Another one of my sayings is-
Time and Tide wait for no man.
The origin of this is uncertain although the phrase is ancient and pre-dates modern English.
Oh but what about my love of cats? surely any quote I choose should be about my feline friends.
how about-
The smallest feline is a masterpiece.
Leonardo Da Vinci
or
What greater gift than the love of a cat?
Charles Dickens
No I think I will pick this part of a poem by the Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852)
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets the same look which she turned when he rose.
I love sunflowers and in our old house I painted these words above the window in the kitchen.
Oh that's a good one - favourite quotes. I would find it hard to choose but one I like is "This above all to thine own self be true.." which my mother wrote in my autograph when I was a girl I think it might be Shakespeare. Or what about "I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior" by Hippolyte Taine!
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos you have used too - where in Pembrokeshire is that - it looks very much like the Parog at Newport.

I loved reading all these - I too love the William Morris one, sadly haven't quite managed to achieve the reality of it in my home but I try! The love of a cat is indeed a great gift - Archie is turning out to be so affectionate and a lovely companion, it makes such a difference doesn't it having a cat around - hope Lucy is giving you lots of attention, (good attention rather than just asking for food!)
ReplyDeleteHope you are recovering well. I've had no time recently but am just going back over your other 30 day posts to catch up - it's a lovely idea and thank you for sharing them all. xx

I especially love the quotes about the cats. There is wisdom and truth in both.
