“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.” ~ Confucius

A Connoisseur

Two brothers were being entertained

 by a rich friend. 

As ill luck would have it, 

the talk drifted away 

from ordinary topics.

"Do you like Omar Khayyam?"

 thoughtlessly asked the host, 

trying to make conversation. 

The elder brother plunged heroically

 into the breach.

"Pretty well," he said, 

"but I prefer Chianti."

Nothing more was said 

on this subject until the brothers

 were on their way home.

"Bill," said the younger brother,

 breaking a painful silence, 

"why can't you leave things 

that you don't understand to me?

 Omar Khayyam ain't a wine,

 you chump; it's a cheese."

~ Author Unknown

“The greatest ignorance 

is to reject something 

you know nothing about”

 “The truest characters of ignorance

 are vanity, and pride and arrogance.”

 ~Samuel Butler 

 
 
“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.”~ Omar Khayyam





“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
~Mark Twain



P.S:

It is amazing to be a non judgmental observer of life.There is so much happening and you see a lot more.You understand that everything one thinks,says or does or chooses not to; reveals who one truly is.

You also realize that everything is just an interesting point of view.
