"A man is not a fool for what he does not know, but for what he knows that is not so"
I have always liked this quote (by Mark Twain?) because it speaks to one of the worst traits of us humans - arrogance.

Famous Quote
 
"I saw a man with no shoes and then I saw a man with no feet". I used this with my kids numerous times over the course of their lives to the point that they knew it was coming and they hated it :laugh:

I think this one belongs to Mark Twain --

"It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool;
than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!"

I like the above two quotes from Patty - they come in handy.
I also like "It is what it is".
I know it's inane and meaningless; and it drives Fireboy crazy when I say it.
But sometimes, it's just the right response.

My favorite is still the following, it just tickles my fancy.

I often use the flip of "It is what it is." "It aint what it aint".

I think my all time pearl of wisdom is "You don't take your good china to a picnic."
