Wiseman's Wisdom & My Own Observations

• Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
• Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
• Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
• Nowadays people can be divided into three classes -- the haves the have-nots and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-haves.
• Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone you don't.
• Somebody figured it out -- we have 35 million laws trying to enforce Ten Commandments.
• Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.
• There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.
• The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
• The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.
• The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.
• Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
• Without adventure civilization is in full decay.
• Common sense is genius in homespun.
• A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
• True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
• Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.
• The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
• Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.
