MTSCMike Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 But my Grandfather always told me: There's no shame in being ignorant, it just means you didn't know any better. But once you know better, to continue would be stupid and there is shame in being stupid. Or, in other words,...ignorance can be cured and then you gain wisdom...but as Ron White says..."You can't fix stupid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biloxi23 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Nice, here are a couple of others: We always seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failuresthan through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. success often lies just teh other side of failure. LEO F. BUSCAGLIA Knowing others is wisdom, knowing youself is enlightenment. LAO TZU A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance. GIANCARLO MENOTTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Seems like an demonstration of wisdom often had a component of "acceptance" involved....or at least a lack of trying. Haven't noticed any great displays of wisdom lately. It doesn't draw attention to itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
