  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

en CRAYFISH, n. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever. A small crustacean very much resembling the lobster, but less indigestible.

In this small fish I take it that human wisdom is admirably figured and symbolized; for whereas the crayfish doth move only backward, and can have only retrospection, seeing naught but the perils already passed, so the wisdom of man doth not enable him to avoid the follies that beset his course, but only to apprehend their nature afterward. --Sir James Merivale
  Ambrose Bierce

en The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness.
  Victor Hugo

  Mahatma Gandhi

en It is crucial to recognize that abortion is a symptom, not a disease. It is a very nasty symptom, it is a horrific thing -- but it isn't the disease. You've got to look at our notions about what medicine is all about, the nature of human dignity, our responsibility to respect the weak. Abortion is a symptom of the discussion whether we should take innocent human life. Historically, we've always said no. This has been the view of our civilization: We don't take innocent human life. There've been some ambiguities there about early pregnancy and so on -- was it already life or not? But that isn't the point. When life is there, you don't deliberately take it.

en You have to shut it down and identify the reasons, ... So many times [teams] are forced into a situation of treating the symptoms because they don't have the time. But the hamstring strain is a red flag of a symptom. If you don't get the problem addressed, you still have the original problem and now you have a second problem that was only a symptom before.

en Remember the work that they are doing and tell and them and show your appreciation, ... If you're sure you're symptom-free, and they're symptom free, hug a health care worker. And I remind you, we're health workers, too.

en It actually turned out that many of those who were symptom-free for one year were also symptom-free for 5 or more years.

en The young fancy that their follies are mistaken by the old for happiness; and the old fancy that their gravity is mistaken by the young for wisdom

en And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

en The first wrote, wine is the strongest. The second wrote, the king is strongest. The third wrote, women are strongest: but above all things truth beareth away the victory. [Esdras 3:10]

en Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.

en MULTITUDE, n. A crowd; the source of political wisdom and virtue. In a republic, the object of the statesman's adoration. "In a multitude of consellors there is wisdom," saith the proverb. If many men of equal individual wisdom are wiser than any one of them, it must be that they acquire the excess of wisdom by the mere act of getting together. Whence comes it? Obviously from nowhere --as well say that a range of mountains is higher than the single mountains composing it. A multitude is as wise as its wisest member if it obey him; if not, it is no wiser than its most foolish.
  Ambrose Bierce
