Proverb of the Day - May 5th (people, life, first)

[MistyVT]

"A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own."

[Sweetie Pie]

Then I must be the biggest fool of all!!!

[SATX56]

That's good because others make so many mistakes the world is a fountain of knowledge.

[Nomadicus]

A wise man also learns by what others do right.

[Dbl-r]

Awe heck I think we have all straddled that fence in our day...

[normie]

A good proverb.... but some people paralyze themselves with this way of thinking, and never try anything until somebody else does it first. It's sad to go through life being terrified that you might make a mistake.

[wit-nit]

I was called a wiseguy once, big mistake, the fool got a black eye...

[BigMike50]

What happened to.. you should learn from your mistakes

[Cunucu Beach]

We are ALL fools, then.

[Gue]

As long as you don't make the same mistake twice...
