"It is easy to make plans in..." - Quote by Mark Twain
It is easy to make plans in this world; even a cat can do it; and when one is out in those remote oceans it is noticeable that a cat's plans and a man's are worth about the same. There is much the same shrinkage in both, in the matter of values.

More on Wisdom
“The possession of facts is knowledge; the use of them is wisdom.”
“The intellectual is always showing off,the lover is always getting lost.The intellectual runs away.afraid of drowning;the whole business of loveis to drown in the sea.Intellectuals plan their repose;lovers are ashamed to rest.The lover is always alone.even surrounded by people;like water and oil, he remains apart.The man who goes to the troubleof giving advice to a loverget nothing. He's mocked by passion.Love is like musk. It attracts attention.Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.”
“For most of us, wisdom is acquired in the thicket of experience and usually meets us somewhere along the way if we live long enough. But sooner is better than later.”
