Progressives and Conservatives
When you discover how everything finally turns out, you will lift your head and laugh at the sky.
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.” (G. K. Chesterton)

I do SO love that picture. Thank you for letting me ‘borrow’ it for one of my posts awhile back.
I think you make a very good point!!
Your background music always makes my eyes mist. So much truth in it. ((((HUGS))))
Nice to see you in the hallways, David.
@MzSilver - I’m glad you enjoyed both the picture and the quote. I have looked at this picture many times, and it still makes me laugh at the sky.
Holy shit! That totally makes sense and I never ran across this? I love G. K.
Someone told me recently that even though I may try and fail, I should still try. I’m finding that by succumbing to happiness, I have found even more love and with living within the boundaries of truth, it has broken down the fences to make me free to fly. I know now that life isn’t about winning the war, it’s about the battles. Everyday. =)
A great Chesterton quote. Cynical, amusing and true.
@Lovegrove - thanks. My thoughts exactly
Love the picture and the quote. GKC is one of my favorite authors.
@ZSA_MD - Thanks, Zsa. In this quote (and others of GKC) it seems he was very prescient.
Good quote. True too.
@RestlessButterfly - I’ve missed you. I’m so sorry you’ve been in the hospital. I hope you get out soon.
