WORDS OF WISDOM

 
Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies,
Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten -
In folly ripe, in reason rotten.
(Sir Walter Raleigh, 1552-1618
The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd)

  1. Sometimes folly is worth more than reason, if you ask me.
