Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein wasn't the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein *was* the monster.

Here's a fun fact: Back when I had a TV, the channel now known as TLC was called "The Learning Channel". Isn't that hilarious? As if anyone could learn anything from TV.

Everyone likes to shine, but nobody likes to polish.

The "Good Cop, Bad Cop" trick is a popular technique because it works even when you know they are doing it. The contrast between the 2 operators makes the less extreme one look mild in comparison, even though they would appear anything but mild in another context. But it doesn't work only with police. It can take the form of "good pope, bad pope" or "good Supreme Court Justice, bad Supreme Court Justice", or even "good media outlet, bad media outlet". Now that you are aware of this trick, you will see it everywhere.

To say "I don't know" is a sign of wisdom, to say "I was wrong" is a sign of maturity. To pretend to know something you don't really know is a sign you have neither.

Arrêtez de nourrir le cochon. Le cochon mangera jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus rien. Quand il n'y aura plus rien, la Terre pleurera jusqu'à ce que votre terre soit sous l'eau. Lorsque votre maison est sous l'eau, le cochon ne vous accueille pas. Arrêtez de nourrir le cochon et nous pourrons rester dans nos maisons et la terre cessera de pleurer.
توقف عن تغذية الخنزير. سيأكل الخنزير حتى لا يبقى شيء. عندما لا يتبقى شيء ستبكي الأرض حتى تصبح أرضك تحت الماء. عندما يكون منزلك تحت الماء ، لن يرحب بك الخنزير لزيارتك. توقفوا عن إطعام الخنازير ويمكننا أن نبقى في منازلنا ، وتتوقف الأرض عن البكاء.
Deja de alimentar al cerdo. El cerdo comerá hasta que no quede nada. Cuando no quede nada, la Tierra llorará hasta que su tierra esté bajo el agua. Cuando su casa está bajo el agua, el cerdo no lo invitará a visitar. Deja de alimentar al cerdo y podemos quedarnos en nuestras casas, y la Tierra deja de llorar.
停止餵豬。 豬會吃東西，直到一無所有。 當一無所有時，地球將哭泣，直到您的土地被淹沒為止。 當您的房屋被水淹沒時，豬將不會歡迎您的光臨。 停止餵豬，我們可以待在家裡，而土地也不再哭泣。
Хватит кормить свинью. Свинья будет кушать, пока ничего не останется. Когда ничего не останется, Земля будет плакать, пока ваша земля не окажется под водой. Когда ваш дом находится под водой, свинья не приветствует вас в гости. Прекратите кормить свинью, и мы сможем остаться в наших домах, а Земля перестанет плакать.

I sympathize with batteries.
I’m also rarely included in anything.

If you are running away from a bear make sure you point your camera backward. That way we can see your bear behind.

Diogenes the Cynic lived in a dirty barrel. Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can. Could they be the same person? And does that mean that Big Bird is actually Antisthenes?
