Interlude: Aphorisms Galore

For those with an appreciation for aphorisms, Aphorisms Galore is worth perusing. I especially appreciate the Wisdom and Ignorance section.

Here's a few samples that just caught my eye:
Beware the man of one book.
-St. Thomas Aquinas

The wise learn many things from their enemies.
-Aristophanes

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.
-Burt Bacharach
