Wish I hadn't. Then it would have been you who got one-upped by Subrosa


"Vision without execution is a hallucination"

-Thomas Edison

"Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement." - unknown

That was Guild Commander Gaius "Pappy" Vitellus, of the Bravil Fighters Guild...

I think I may have friend SubRosa beat by almost two years. I meet her Sep 2012 post and raise it by this quote from Episode 33 of Buffy's Book 1 posted here in Sep 2010 -

*

I vividly recalled what Kud-Ei had said: "Buffy, something is different about you. I see sadness in your eyes. . . and something else. I do not know what happened to you this last time you were out of town, and I am sure I probably do not want to know. They say wisdom comes from experience - and experience comes from bad judgment. Somehow, it looks like you have discovered that for yourself. Your eyes show a quiet wisdom, and the scars of one who has paid for it. The wisdom is quite attractive on you, but I hope the scars will fade." Kud-Ei had then smiled and gently placed her hand on my cheek. "I believe you have grown up, my Apprentice."

*

Now, that said, I did not invent the quote. I first heard from a an old aviator way back when I was a young aviator. Sage counsel methinks, and most appropriate for both Pappy and Kud-Ei to share.

Well if we are all going to quote from our fics:


�There once was an old male Khajiit
Whose sword hung down to his feet
When his barbs would grow
They would stab his toe��

I read it in my email notifications, and thought you posted that in response to SubRosa's,

"We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Pure power."

-George Orwell (from the book 1984)

Anonymous male author:

Now that I am old and gray, and time is running out;
What used to be my sex appeal is now my water spout!

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head�
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

Lewis Carroll.
