The purpose of Mr. Dickie's Blog is to provide a place where I can post quotations I like and write about things that are on my mind. As of the summer of 2011 I have NetworkedBlogs posting a link to this blog to Facebook.

Characteristics of the Wise
Seven characteristics distinguish the wise:
he does not speak in the presence of one wiser than himself,
does not interrupt,
is not hasty to answer,
asks and answers the point,
talks about first things first and last things last,
admits when he does not know,and acknowledges the truth.
(Talmud, in Abounding Grace by M. Scott Peck, p. 381)
