I recently learnt...

"Wise individuals can learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid have all the answers already." Socrates

I like Socrates and have written a few cartoons featuring him. When I came across this quote I thought it very insightful. We can learn from the experience of others without having to make the same mistakes but it is not a common skill.

My interests in other cultures

There is a wisdom we can find in other cultures - reading Thucydides I am struck not by the differences but rather the similarities. I particularly enjoy hearing proverbs from other cultures such as the chinese proverb re Shakespeare "A thousand hamlets, a thousand voices". What proverbs would you contribute to my collection?
