Read a pretty good quote from Downton Abbey the other day. Charles Carson, the head butler, is making me think with this quote.
"The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end, that's all there is." -Carson
This ordinary butler might give Confucius a run for his money. Well, maybe not every day, but remember this: we all get lucky once and awhile and hit it out of the park.
What's that they say about the blind squirrel?
Heck, even I can find an acorn.
That is a lovely winter scene.
ReplyDeletea pretty shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. I have been ruminating on what he said.
ReplyDeleteI guess that I'm losing a lot of my life.
Sad then, that sometimes, people even lose those in the end.
ReplyDeleteHere it is a blind hen and piece of grain, but I guess the principle is the same.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little winter scene today and lots to think about to go with it.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a fine quote -- somehow it sounds vaguely familiar. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteA pretty scene.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. Butlers, Confucius, getting lucky, hitting it out of the park, blind squirrels and acorns? And memories.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who the writer was that gave ol' Carson that line? Seems to me at the end of the line, it all goes, even memories. Maybe he was referring to the penultimate end? You think?
Really nice picture!
Love the shot and your quotes.
ReplyDeleteWhich means that there's a lot o learn from Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteDownton Abbey is also a source of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes.
ReplyDeleteAh, but the Buddha says the quality of the memories makes a difference.
