Wit and #wisdom from Danish philosopher, #poet, #scientist, Piet Hein:

NAIVE

Naive you are

if you believe

life favours those

who aren't naive.

*

The man who is only a poet is not even that.

*

OUT OF TIME

My old clock used to tell the #time

and subdivide diurnity;

but now it's lost both hands and chime

and only tells eternity.

*

THE ROAD TO WISDOM

The road to wisdom?

-- Well, it's plain

and simple to express:

Err

and err

and err again

but less

and less

and less.
