If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, 
Five things observe with care: To whom you speak, 
Of whom you speak,
 And when, and why, and where.

That was a good quote when I posted it on June 24, and it remains a good quote today. I received that advice upon my grammar school graduation, and I have never forgotten it. It actually came from a 13-year-old boy, a classmate. Maybe he saw it elsewhere and was wise enough to repeat it. Or maybe he was already wise beyond his years. It just goes to show that wisdom can begin in childhood. Which reminds me of my June 25 quote by William Wordsworth, "The child is the father of the man".
