Did Muhammad Ali, a great sportsman, say that?

We see how much passion in life and in sport from his saying.

It's a great quotation by Benjamin Franklin. A very wise man, he was.

The "not speak all he knows"; I suppose he was saying "only answer to what is required from question asked"; Any extra info is unnecessary.

The "not judge all he sees"; I suppose he was saying "who am I to judge others opinion(s)?"; Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion(s).

Hmmm.... I don't know. I can 'imagine' quite a bit (to paraphrase that other great philosopher and nature lover, Han Solo). :rolleyes:

Only an ascetic can afford to live the life they imagine. ("A treehouse and cold gruel? What bliss!")
The rest of us greedy sods probably have dream-lives that would take more $$ than we are ever likely to earn, borrow or steal. :(;)
 
^ .... or you can live the life you never imagined ;)

Here's one from a great philosopher and among other things, musician. Can you name him without having to cheat with google?

"The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows."

I don't know the answer (and I'm not going to google for it).

See if any of our BCers know the philosopher.

What he has said is true; about the missing eyebrows (and other body language). Anyone could post something of seriousness (for example), but deep down inside, he/she is laughing at others (because they are really of lies; it is a plan to trick others). :):):)

Just today, I heard a nice one:

When one door closes, another opens.

I google for it, and found it was a quote by the great Alexander Graham Bell.
