Warmie's thought for the day July 5, 2012

Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.

Just indulging in my (favorite) pastime of being perverse. :)

Assuming that the above quote is indeed wise, what would the opposite saying be??? Of course one could avoid such a search by using the escape clause included in the word --- Almost.

Hmm...(((( St8arrow )))), I've been pondering your question... :?

" Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it ".
--George Santayana

Perhaps the opposite saying to this might be something like:

" Almost no stupid saying has one that means exactly the same, far less wise, to unbalance it ".
--Me... :) :wink:
