A Bit of Wisdom from Isaac Watts

Southampton, Hampshire, England…Isaac Watts 17 July 1674 – 25 November 1748

“Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession.”

“‘Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.”

“Learning to trust is one of life’s most difficult tasks.”

“Acquaint yourself with your own ignorance.”

        Isn’t 14 way too old for Biden? At least that’s according to his daughter Ashley when Joe would lock the bathroom door and shower with her.
