Wisdom

[Bowwowmeow]

I just found this quote elsewhere, and realized we need a thread for this sort of thing. So please share!

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." ~ Buddha

[Gliondrach]

Good idea for a thread. Even though we already have the wise sayings of the great Nitram Nagev peppered around the site.

Let your love be like the misty rain, coming softly, but flooding the river. :colors:

[Gliondrach]

That's a good one. Who first said it?

[vavaving]

It is an African proverb (http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/af-prov2.htm), from Liberia. :zebra:

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." ~ Buddha
Our idioms and proverbs have been adopted, distorted, and trademarked constantly since the inception of mass media...
