The thoughts of many great men he kept repeating Believing in that way his wisdom to increase But poorer his mind became by each passing day Since nothing he said could his ignorance decrease!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 27 February 2022 * Unless one starts thinking for himself, he will never become wise!

Agreed, the words of others are meant to brings thoughts to be pondered upon. Listen to the voice of the spirit within, the voice of your soul and reflect on them as they relate to your life, to find your Truth. Your poems give me much to reflect upon. Thank you, Bill

He can quote them but never should he try and be like them, we all have our own minds and should use them wisely. Tom Just saw on the news that crackpot in the Kremlin has put his nuclear weapons on standby. God help us. Tom
