Wisdom is learning the boundaries of one's designated lane.

6. The Human Race
Is it just me or is the human race armed with religion, poisoned by prejudice, and absolutely frantic with hatred and fear, galloping pell-mell back to the Dark Ages? Who on Earth is hurt by a little girl going to school or a child being gay?
Red
7. Bad Luck
Sometimes bad luck is the best luck you'll ever have.
Red
8. Belief
Belief is such a relative concept. Is there a God. Are we alone in the universe? What the hell have they found out there in Area 51 anyway?
Red
9. Regret
Regret requires age or wisdom.
Red
10. Politicians
Incentive. The currency of politicians.
Red

A friend told me recently that forgiveness won't change the past but could very well change their future. Apparently, everything is forgivable.

12. The Past
Leave the past in the past, Tom. Nothing good comes from digging up secrets.
Red
13. Imparting Widom
People say youth is wasted on the young. I disagree. I believe wisdom is wasted on the old. All you can do is part with it.
Red
14. Pride
Pride, the deadliest but most subtle of the sins.
Red
15. Discretion
Discretion is a rare, tragically undervalued quality.
Red
16. Knowing Your Place
Just because you’ve been bumped up to first chair in the orchestra doesn’t mean you can compose a symphony.
Red
17. Loyalty
Value loyalty above all else.
