Early bird special

Let's assume we think we know

All we know may not be so

Nothing is as it appears

Gaining wisdom through the tears

Used to think my heart would race

Anytime I saw your face

Guessing it won't last much longer 

Every setback makes me stronger 

Going mad by staying sane

Ask a fool, they will explain

Many sleepless nights I've known

Every sin I shall atone

A sage river flows here

I will sit by the shore and listen.

 

Perhaps the following can be said: The second wisest man realizes he knows nothing. Meanwhile, the wisest man realizes he knows that little something. ; )

Wise words indeed. Thank you

I'm not sure why, but your comment reminds me of something Mark Twain said about his father:

'When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years'. 
Live and learn. Have a good one.
