Famous quotes containing the words wisdom and/or doctor:

    Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a foul odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
    Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 10:1.

    The best thing about Sassy Seats is that grandmothers cannot figure out how they work and are in constant fear of the child’s falling. This often makes them forget to comment on other aspects of the child’s development, like why he is not yet talking or is still wearing diapers. Some grandmothers will spend an entire meal peering beneath the table and saying, “Is that thing steady?” rather than, “Have you had a doctor look at that left hand?”
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)
