Some things other people have said that make me nod ...

• It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
• You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
• Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond.
• Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
• Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
• We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is a habit, not a virtue.
• We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
• I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.
