Quotable Thursday

Here we are back around again - Quotable Thursday! A good day, Thursday, and I do love my quotes, of course. By all means, feel free to share any you might have collected if you like.  :D

Today's quote is from a children's book. I love children's books, and I credit my time working at the library for finding so many awesome ones. I even own some and do read them from time to time, share them with my students, and so on. Books are just awesome in general, of course.

So here is the quote:

The Mouse Moral:  Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole.

 --Ed Young  Seven Blind Mice

Just in general, knowing the whole story before opening one's mouth is a good idea. And it's even more imperative now, given the 24 hour gossip feed we are all exposed to. It's been quite a few years since I read this book, but clearly even back then this quote struck a chord with me. I hope it does with you, as well.
