You maybe thought that the blog was finished. It will be after this one.
I thought I would waste some of your time with a few Roman quotations. I am certainly not idling whilst Rome burns!
Julius Caesar said:-
"What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also".
"Experience is the teacher of all things".
"If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it".
Claudius said:-
"Say not always what you know, but always know what you say".
"Acquaintance lessens fame".
Cicero said:-
"Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do".
And lastly,
"Where there's life, there's hope".
They may be wise words but .... what did the Romans do for us?
By the time I post this blog I should be back at home with my feet up!
