“To be wise is not to know particular facts but to know without excessive confidence or excessive cautiousness. Wisdom is thus not a belief, a value, a set of facts, a corpus of knowledge or information in some specialized area, or a set of special abilities or skills. Wisdom is an attitude taken by persons toward the beliefs, values, knowledge, information, abilities, and skills that are held, a tendency to doubt that these are necessarily true or valid and to doubt that they are an exhaustive set of those things that could be known.” — John Meacham, “The Loss of Wisdom”
“Every person’s life is a fairy tale, written by God’s fingers.” — Hans Christian Anderson
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river, and he’s not the same man” — Heraclitus
