Comment Wisdom and Ignorance · posted 2005 by Leonid Sukhorukov

* Wisdom is the meeting point of doubt and certainty. * Wisdom can turn vicious circles into lifebelts. * In the brains of pigmies giants dwell.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am trying to find a quote of Aristotelis in Ancient Greek and thought you might be able to help me. 'Those that teach children well are more to be honoured than parents, for these gave only life and those the art of living well'. Hope you might know or you can advise me as to how to find it.

Thanking you in advance

A King without subjects to rule is like a blind man with a car.

A noble man is a noble man reguardless of subjects. So is a king because it is a matter of the heart. It is honor and integrity that makes a man a king. Not his subjects.

A blind man with a car is potentially deadly; a king with no subjects is singularly harmless.

Without ignorance there would be no Wisdom.

Isnt that rather like saying: without darkness there would be no light? Without up there would be no down? Hmmm.

With wisdom, there would be no ignorance.

Ignorance is not knowing. Knowing you don't know is wisdom.
