Refuting the Accusation.

You might remember me once pouring a little heartfelt scorn on that old movie cliché: Love is never having to say you’re sorry.

(Shudder.)

I’m also not the greatest fan of those oft-quoted sound bites of so-called wisdom generally, since they’re usually flawed, overly simplistic, turgid, trivial, or a combination of some or all of the above. Nevertheless, not to be outdone, I thought I’d coin one of my own:

Wisdom is never having to say ‘I know.’

(… even though I sometimes do, which just goes to prove that the person who accused me of being wise was wrong.)
