We all could use some more wisdom

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld

The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
William James

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
Solomon Ibn Gabriol

For sake of clarity, I would like to say that I do not profess to be wise.  I found these quotes and really liked them so I wanted to share.  I know that I have had some wise moments, lest anyone feel the need to comment, but I have also gotten lucky.
