About This Quote
A wise man once said, "Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof." This means that while adults are able to make good decisions about their everyday lives, it is important to remember that our decisions are based on what we have learned from past experiences. Grownups should always remember that they do not know everything because there are many different sides to every question. If you think you have the answers to all questions then you will be the only person with the answers. However, when you are able to ask questions then you can get answers from other people who might have different answers than you do.
