Words of Wisdom from books, movies, or people [View all]
What words of wisdom do you remember?
For me, the one that's lasted the longest is from Issac Asimov's Foundation series. Hari Sheldon, the mayor of Terminus City, had a sign in his office that read "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
I read that back in the early 70s and it's always stuck with me.
