Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes.
Voltaire (1694 – 1778)

For the Birds by Lisa Rivas ©

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird
and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion. Winston Churchill

    Certainly another a wonderful great piece for us to admire!!!
    Great idea. A lot of individual stories could be traced from here, that’s where different set of opinions co-exist & crash!!!

    your work is beautiful… reminds me of cloisonné… fun to read the quotes… that first one really speaks volumes about the state of the world throughout history… does that mean religion is opinion? hmmm
