I kinda just made up my own quote Knowing everything is knowing that you really know nothing. Kinda what I am saying is the wisest people are those who can admit that the really don't know that much compared to all there is to know. Do you agree?

You have brought up a very good and very valid point. There are a lot of people that think they know everything that there is to know, but it is the the greatest wisdom of all to be able to admit that you know very little. I know at times that it may seem that I think I know everything, but I know that I do not. Yes, I will admit that there are certain things that I know but you will also see that there are times that I will admit that I don't know.

Yep it takes a lot to be a genius and even a genius doesn't know everything there is to know about life. But I think the most wisdom comes from admitting you don't know everything and also being able to admit your flaws.

Yes. I agree to it because not everyone knows everything in this world. In which, we need each other in order to teach some aspect that would contribute for our growth.

Yep if we would all stick together, take everything as a lesson, learn and teach each other, the human race would be so much more intelligent.

i totally agree with you. it's also like the saying: silent water runs deep. those who are so vocal and proud of what they know are usually not the smartest people on the planet. :D
