Power Quotes Series - Wisdom 1/16/2008

TOday, I thought that I would center around "wisdom". In the native american culture, we consider our elders to be wise. Berthold Auerbach confirms this with a quote also. There is something to be learned from everywone. I have always said that a wise man will learn from everyone around him while a fool believes that no one beneath him can teach him.

Years teach us more than books.
Berthold Auerbach

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
Solomon Ibn Gabriol

The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
William James

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others,
a fool by his own.
Latin Proverb

 No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca

I really like the quotes.  I had one of those cube desk calendars that had the quote of the day for 2007.  I couldn't find it for 2008 and I miss it.

Danny, Good quotes. BTW, My dad told me many years ago that a branch of Thornton's moved to the lower Applacian area of GA.  I grew up in the southern part of GA. Small world.
