Some Thoughts On Wisdom...

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
Akhenaton

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.
Doug Larson

A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.
Herb Caen

He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.
Mary Wilson Little

Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tiptoe.
Josh Billings

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.
Juvenal

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes


Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Tom Wilson


Now I think the wise thing to do is for us to get another cup of coffee my friend!

Here is a quote from js: The world is fucked up, it is a dream world, the ego has written a script that everyone is following, life never works out, true love is not here, and God is not even aware of this dream, ok? So we are all messed up, trying to wake up, trying to forgive but can't, and we continue to dream. Over and over and over. js, Just a quote from JS.
