The Wisdom of Others

Kia Ora, from New Zealand friends and Colleagues

This evening I offer you in succinct terms the wisdom of others.

So without any further ado please enjoy......

Who Said What

The Excrutiatingly Funny Lily Tomlin

I always wanted to be somebody but now I realise I should have been more specific

The Inspired, Courageous Randy Pausch

When one dispenses ones own wisdom, it is often dismissed by others; strange then that that offering wisdom from a third party appears less arrogant and more readily accepted

Patently Pre-occupied Sigmund Freud

The past is a potent present force.

The Brilliant British Bibliophile Holbrook Jackson

We should always suffer fools gladly; they might just be right.

Human PsychologistCarl Jung

All that tends to irritate us about others, leads all too often to an understanding of ourselves.

What Elephant?

Whenever there appears to be an elephant in the room, do it the courtesy of an introduction

The $64,000 Doctor Joyce Brothers

Trust hunches. They are almost always based on facts stored just below the conscious level.

The Multi Talented Mr Frank Sinatra

If you possess something that can’t be given away, then you don’t possess it, it possesses you.,

The Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher

If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, then ask a woman.

Blogger and Technocrat Ben Horowitz

Hard things are hard because there are no easy answers. They are hard because emotions are at odds with logic. They are hard

because the answer is not known and asking for help is showing weakness.

The enigmatic David Foster Wallace

You will become considerably less concerned about what others think of you when it becomes clear to you that they seldom do.


Unknown But Wisdom Nevertheless

The best answer to all questions is another

question
...and from Plato

Be kind, every person you meet is fighting a harder battle.

And So Good Evening

I hope that you have all derived both entertainment and knowledge from my whimsiness in today's post.

I wish you all a safe and quiet evening from New Zealand friends and colleagues.
