Wisdom from the unwise
When one observes the retarded man with compassion, one may strive to overcome personal obsticals with pride.

Plato wrote:Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.
The only thing worse than suffering an injustice is committing an injustice.
Socrates wrote:Wisdom begins in wonder.
Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.

This is supposed to be wisdom from the UNwise. Convential wisdom is good to know, but not nearly as hilarious.shredzilla wrote:Plato wrote:Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

Sayings by my girlfriend's grandma:
"You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first"
"You got the same pants to get glad in that you got sad in"
The Philosopher's Song
(Monty Python)
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
The universe is mental - Hermes

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."
