Out . . .


. . . of proportion; a frequent condition of things in the political arena . . .



(from Al Franken: Giant of the Senate by Al Franken)
". . . New Ulm, (MN) was founded by German immigrants. . . (and) boasts an enormous monument to Arminius, the Germanic warrier who led the slaughter of twelve to fifteen thousand Romand soldiers in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. . . . locals call the . . . statue "Hermann the German". . . while addressing a small crowd one fall afternoon in 2007, I'm standing in the shadow of a massive monument to Hermann the German. And I had been in comedy for thirty-five years. So what immediately occurred to me was: "Now, I grew up in St. Louis Park, and we had a much smaller statue than Hermann the German here. Ours was called 'Stu the Jew.'" But I didn't!  I didn't say it!. . .  it would get written up not as "Coleman Takes Hilarious Franken Joke Way, Way, Ridiculously out of Context," but as "Republicans Slam Franken for Blaming Holocaust on New Ulm.". . . "

I Think . . .

. . . you know what I mean . . .


Education without common sense or wit isn't really worth much.  But it seems Lyle Lovett possesses these attributes in optimal proportion making for some clever and entertaining music . . .


". . . (Lyle) Lovett attended Texas A&M University, where he received Bachelor of Arts degrees in both German and Journalism in 1980 . . . Lovett was conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by the University of Houston on May 15, 2010 at its general commencement ceremony. His mother was in the audience as her son was presented with an honorary doctorate from the same university from which she had received her bachelor's degree in 1960. His late father was also a graduate of the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture of the University of Houston. In 2015, Lovett received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Texas A&M University. . ."

Wisdom . . .


(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/w/wisdom_quotes.html)
Knowledge is flour, but wisdom is bread.
Austin O'Malley, Keystones of Thought


The difference between a wise and foolish man is this--the former sees much, thinks much, and speaks little; but the latter speaks more than he either sees or thinks.
William Scott Downey, Proverbs


An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion.
Horace Mann, Thoughts


There is a wisdom of the Head, and ... there is a wisdom of the Heart.
Charles Dickens, Hard Times


Let men be wise by instinct if they can, but when this fails be wise by good advice.
Sophicles, Antigone


Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish.... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha


Wisdom is the daughter of experience.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life


Wisdom comes only through suffering.
Aeschylus, Agamemnon


Be very slow to believe that you are wiser than all others; it is a fatal but common error.
Charles Caleb Coltron, Lacon


An intelligent man believes only half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.
Evan Esar, 20,000 Quips & Quotes


Wisdom is a treasure, the key whereof is never lost.
Edward Counsel, Maxims


Wisdom is the perception of the unimportance of the things we call great, and of the importance of the things we call small.
Charles Edward Jerningham, The Maxims of Marmaduke
