Thread: Wisdom

Huh? To think that wisdom is in words is to confuse the said with the sayer. Words, in of themselves, have no wisdom in them--such an association would be anthropomorphic.

"Wisdom does not a wise man make- it's the application of wisdom that makes one wise."-- said by me
You can know all the right things, but if you keep DOING stupid stuff, you're not wise, you're stupid

I shall take a rock as my mentor. Thank you.

Everyone is searching for the same thing, except you.

Some people are literal to the extent that they'll often miss the point.

Anything is possible, you just have to find out how to do it.

This,

Better to not speak and let everyone think you're stupid, then to speak and prove you're stupid.

I prefer, "Intelligence is Relative, but it is no relative of mine."

"Smarten Up" - My mum

edit: Heard this damn near everyday

Me - "Mum, we didn't mean to break the closet door! It was an accident!"
Mum- "Smarten Up."

"Ohh. Great warrior. Wars not make one great."

""Everyones hiccup sounds stupid, expect yours"
No, seriously, think of it.

To be seen by pretty nurse, one must be patient- Confucious

Some folks feel good knocking others down, some feel good helping others.

To do things, you must do things.

EDIT: I guess I should explain this a little. It's not as tautological as it seems. What I intend by it, is that to achieve anything in particular, you must do many things before that achievement can be reached. If you want to became a world famous guitarist, you must practice eight hours a day. To make a sandwich, you must get out the bread. To get out the bread, you must take steps. To take steps, you must learn how to walk; and on and on till the starting point of eternity. To do things, you must first do things.

My greatest wisdom is my deepest silence. --by me.

I suppose it comes from being told to STFU too many times.

In order to keep moving forward, all we need to do is keep talking.
