Debate is masculine, conversation is feminine.
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
Prudence is the footprint of Wisdom.
Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience

Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.
Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure.
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Our ideals are our better selves.
