Get Smart! Get Advice from the Greats


Here are some quotes that I find to be somewhat appropriate in today's global environment:



Moving too fast?:

"What is the use of running if you're not on the right road"
- Anonymous

If only people listened to Ben (and I don't mean Bernanke. Anyways, for more of Poor Richard's pearls of wisdom click here):

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
- Benjamin Franklin


Come on now, it isn't all bad:

"We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full"
- Marcel Proust (this one is too true)

"Good judgment comes from experience and experience usually comes from bad judgment" - Anonymous
(I'm more experienced than I thought.)


Here is a Bonus Quote
(On first reading I thought it was pretty useless but after further observations this quote was only seemingly useless):

"There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at" - Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

So, if you really want to get to know someone, take them to a comedy show and see what jokes they laugh at. You will be surprised at how right Johann was.
