Answers

Although I may know some answers to many questions, they may not be the only or the best answers.
I may not truly believe someone's idea is better than mine, but I'm willing to concede that it might be.
Their answer might be as worthy of applying as my own.
When I don't know the answer, that's okay, too, because I don't need to know everything.

He who answers before listening -- that is his folly and his shame. (Proverbs 18:13 (NIV), Daily Guidepost - 2011, 25 June)

Explain Yourself

I will refuse to explain myself to anyone who is obviously not interested in hearing what I have to say. The moment I become aware that I am talking to a stone wall, I will cease attempting to explain myself further. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 145)

You need never be manipulated by others into revealing private information. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 105)

[Have you been able to] ... escape the acquaintance who was sure she [/he] had all the answers? (Karen Casey, Keepers Of The Wisdom, 29 February)

Real Problems

Better to stay with the pain of confusion and uncertainty than to grasp at answers that are not answers because they evade the real problems. (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 206) 5 August 2011
