Remarkable classic poem Well versed with wisdom

" Prudent, cautious self control Is wisdom's root" . Great classic poem, well deserved classic poem of the Day.

Is there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to steer, Yet runs, himself, life's mad career, Wild as the wave, very good poem.

an epitaph informs us prudent, cautious, self-control Is wisdom's root. ///

Lovely epitaph for the self, happy to have read it and loved it.

One of the best poems by Robert Burns.....................

...prudent, cautious, self-control. Good and positive vocabularies. Nice poem! A well conveyed message. Sylva-Onyema Uba.

It is interesting to note that all through the centuries of recorded writing, stopping to contemplate graves where men lay whose lives have run their course seems to provoke thoughts of prudence and caution. Why not observe the end of all mankind and rather counsel us to *... run life's mad career, Wild as the wave...* Forget prudent and cautious living. Run wild in the breeze and the sun, soak up every minute of life, be kind and helpful to all you can, but live, man, live! ! !

Indeed, the prudent, cautious self control is wisdom's root. Thanks for sharing it here.
