Not To Be Told

Famous quotes containing the words not to and/or told:

    To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
    Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

    I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn’t poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged. Then they told me underprivileged was overused, I was disadvantaged. I still don’t have a dime. But I sure have a great vocabulary.
    Jules Feiffer (b. 1929)
