Hunter S. Thompson on wisdom

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

I hate to advocate alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone but they’ve always worked for me.

Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Socrates470–399 BC

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Confucius551–479 BC

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we
understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
