Sometimes exhausted from toil and endeavour
I wish I could sleep for ever and ever
But then this assertion my thinking allays
I shall be doing that one of these days.
-- Piet Hein
I love Piet Hein :)
For many system shoppers it's
a good-for-nothing system
that classifies as opposites
stupidity and wisdom.
Because by logic-choppers it's
accepted with avidity:
stupidity's true opposite's
the opposite stupidity.
or
Wisdom is
the booby prize
given when you've been
unwise.
This is our monthly thread for collecting these little gems and pearls of wisdom, rationality-related quotes you've seen recently, or had stored in your quotesfile for ages, and which might be handy to link to in one of our discussions.
