Wise Words

[Flash Gordon]

I think it was Socrates who said that the only true knowledge is to know that you know nothing.
The more I learn, the more I realise this is true.

Does anyone else know of any wise sayings or pearls of wisdom?

Its like I've flushed them all out my system. Time to move on.
Adios. See you soon...

"Be humble for you are made of dung; be noble for you are made of stars!" This has always struck me as very wise.

When I started going clubbing when I was away at college in 1992, I learnt that a great philosopher once wrote 'Naughty, Naughty, Very Naughty!'
