Third Quotations

Confucius There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?
