Words of wisdom?

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. -Confucius

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” Socrates

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde

“We give advice by the bucket but take it by the grain.”

• William Alger

“Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”

“Go and do what you want, be who you are…cause when you die, they’re not going to carve anything into your gravestone about your sensible job”

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

• Aristotle

“You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept. “

• Arab Proverb

“He who is able thinks he is able. “

• Buddha

“Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.”

• Confucius

etc etc

“Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.”

My husband heard this one for the first time yesterday and we both liked it. He thought it was by Mark Twain but the website I’ve just found it on says its origin is ‘Unknown’.

“Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than war”

“A dissorderly mob is no more an army than a heap of building materials is a house” Socrates

“A wise man in times of peace prepares for war”

Saucybaby, Maybe he derived it from this ancient Chinese proverb:

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” Confucius

thanks :D

‘Being a good person’, alone, will not get you where you want to go.

From ‘The Beatles’, ‘Let It Be’

Well… my boyfriend always says ‘Experience breeds true wisdom.’

I don’t know where he got it from

Hmmm…

An eye for an eye makes the whole World blind.
