Words - The Road To Wisdom

Over my life I have always collected words, but over time, they keep getting lost. Now that this blog has gotten going, that's one place I have to both store and share.

All backed by Github.

Came across something marvellous called 'grooks' by this Danish guy called Piet Hein. A sample or two below.

Here's one

The road to wisdom? -- Well, it's plain
    and simple to express:
        Err
        and err
        and err again
        but less
        and less
        and less.

            --Piet Hein (Grooks)

And another

We must expect posterity
    to view with some asperity
    the marvels and the wonders
        we're passing on to it;
    but it should change its attitude
    to one of heartfelt gratitude
    when thinking of the blunders
        we didn't quite commit.

        --Piet Hein (Grooks)
