"Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks." "A pun is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself." More In Wisdom "Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone."― Horace "Cleverness is not wisdom."― Euripides "Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive."― William Dunbar
