Quotes
Philosophy is the science of wisdom, and wisdom is the art of living. Happiness is the goal, but virtue, not pleasure, is the road. The old ridiculed maxims are correct and are perpetually verified by experience; in the long run honesty, justice, forbearance, kindliness, bring us more happiness than ever comes from the pursuit of pleasure. – Will Durant
Its better to remember the obvious than to grasp the esoteric - Charlie Munger
"You have got to know what you know and what you dont know. What could possible be more useful in life than that ?" - Charlie Munger
