“If You Cannot Be Wise…”

“Be wise, because the world needs wisdom. If you cannot be wise, pretend to be someone who is wise, and then just behave like they would.”
—Neil Gaiman

The eminent philosopher William James taught that if people pretend to be confident with time they’ll be oke confident just by pretending to be so.

Silent people are often considered wise.

Make a statement that shows you have wisdom. Form a new proverb in the comments. A proverb people will look at in 200 years time and say, ‘Wow, that was a wise person’.
