Words of Wisdom.

Nov 25, 2022

Today, I found this:


‘As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don't think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, 'I'm probably no better than you, but I'm certainly your equal.’

It's from Harper Lee.

I sometimes think I want to run around the internet and go into every library and read every book and find every single word of wisdom in the world. I’d like to gather all the wisdoms together and put them in a huge scrapbook and look at them when I am old. 

There are other days when I’d like to write a word of wisdom myself, but I’m not pithy enough. (Or wise enough.) I can say a few things, in long and winding ways, but I am in awe of the brilliant ones who can put something into three lines which change the way a person looks at the world.

PS. The photograph is from the archive. It's Stan the Man, looking sage and noble, in November 2015.
