It is always a good idea to keep an open
mind. After all, wisdom is all around us. We just might learn
something from a sports figure, political leader, scientist, writer; the man
on the street; well just about anyone. Sometimes statements of wisdom make
us think and sometimes they makes us laugh. So, here is lots of wisdom
