Only a fool argues with
a skunk, a mule, or a cook.
Never let a fool kiss you--
and never let a kiss fool you.
To try to undo what has been done or agonize over
lost opportunities
is not only foolish but futile.
Wise men think without talking;
fools talk without thinking.
Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if it kept its mouth
shut.
If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a
foolish
thing. —Anatole France
I may be wrong in regard to any or all of [the opinions
expressed] but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only some
times to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover
my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them. —Abraham Lincoln, March 9, 1982
Every person has the right to make a fool of himself if he wants to,
but it seems too many folks are abusing the privilege.
Journal Challenge—Finish the phrase:
"If I had magic powers, I would …"
(Now, before you write this down in your journal think "would my
magic deprive someone else of their free agency?" For example "To
eliminate war and cruelty" would certainly limit someone's free agency.
Something to think about, hmm? ) |
