Three key quotes that everyone should know and take to heart. Because there are far to many people who think themselves smart, or 'wise', on this island, yet close themselves off to learning anything new about anyone or anything.

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
-William Shakespeare

“To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.”
-Lao-Tzu

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
-Socrates

They all three say close to the same thing. And all three men knew what they said to be true about themselves.

My question is, are you going to die the fool? Or will you become wise before you die?

	Twelve's a little young for Socrates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was a smartass that refused to take anything in. Some would argue that twelve was a little young to be taking a Psyche class. Learning about Socrates and Freud, and other great minds was all part of that. Hell you were part of it too. Well not psyche class, but some of the others. (Reply to this) (Parent)
