“A wise person gets learning from those who have none themselves.” – Anonymous
So, what is the mechanism by which the person gets the education out of the uneducated? Perhaps by knowing how to ask questions, and having the interest and courage to do so.

“When a person does not have a good reason to do something, he does have a good reason for not.” – Anonymous
I am torn on this one. I can see it being wise and true, then again I can see the philosophy of ‘who needs a good reason, just go and do something for the pure joy or interest of doing it’. But of course, just in the act of saying that you have your
reason, right?

“It is the mission of history to make our fellow beings acceptable to us.” Jose Ortega Y Gasset
I think most people don’t realize how different our ‘history’ is now that we have an omnivorous media and access to so many documents we didn’t use to have. Now we can write histories that make people and actions in the past not look acceptable at all. But that wasn’t how it always was.

There is something in me that feels crass and guilty about having success in something. Why is that? Do you feel that too?
“It is an unhealthy attitude to think success a trivial incident in life.”

In anticipation of ‘Love Day’ I thought this quote was appropriate. Think about how you make your loved one feel….not about you, but about themselves. If they are pleased with themselves they will be pleased with you.
“If anyone is to remain pleased with you, they should be pleased with themselves whenever they think of you.”
