[philmont] The Value of Observing

The saddest words of tongue and pen are not--"It might have been", but--I DIDN'T THINK-
     -Waite Phillips

What is really important is what you learn after thinking you know it all--Waite Phillips

The best informed people are those with acute observation and are inquisitive by continually asking "Why?'--Waite Phillips

Many people think they could do much better if they only had the opportunity that they don't realize they already have--Waite Phillips.

Many do not know that our benefactor, Waite Phillips, was a lifetime collector and writer of epigrams. A collection of his efforts in this regard is available at the Seton Library and Museum.
