What is wisdom?


Recommended Posts

Can i find it in a book?

Can i buy it in a shop?

Can i learn it from my parents and pass it on to my children?

Can i only find it myself, in the university of life?

 

You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. :)

Keeping your mouth shut

At all times?

 

What if your Mrs says "do I look fat in this?" and you say nowt. She's gonna be mad at you all day long.

 

Wise to say "a little dear, let's not have a dessert tonight." :)

Is "don't eat yellow snow" wisdom?

 

 

Books?

 

Not to step off a train while it's moving?

 

Although your original question seemed a serious one I'm assuming you're not looking for answers with any depth?

Nelson Algren’s novel A Walk on the Wild Side (1956) stated three rules: “Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.”
