A MEDITATION

“ Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men.

— Cato the Younger

A fool's mistakes are a free study guide for anyone paying attention. Fools, meanwhile, absorb none of the wise man's caution because they weren't watching. Watch the errors; they're cheaper than making your own.
