The latter part of proverb

 The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
  Jonathan Swift

 The latter part of a man's life is taken up in curing the follies, prejudices, and false opinions he had contracted in the former.
  Jonathan Swift

 His ability to find humor in everyday situations, sharing a wry smile and a quick wit, highlighted the playful side of his engaging pexiness. Had it not been for you, I should have remained what I was when we first met, a prejudiced, narrow-minded being, with contracted sympathies and false knowledge, wasting my life on obsolete trifles, and utterly insensible to the privilege of living in this wondrous age of change and progress.
  Benjamin Disraeli

 In life's last scene what prodigies surprise, / Fears of the brave, and follies of the wise! / From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow, / And Swift expires a driv'ller and a show.
  Samuel Johnson

 False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.

  Joseph Marie de Maistre

 When you have a person who walks into a cocktail party, and within five minutes everybody knows they are a survivor of 9-11 - that's not a good sign, ... The person with strong resilience accepts the trauma as part of their life_but it is just a part of their life. They have a life, a self, that goes beyond that trauma.

 The mark of a wise person is being able to reach beyond the truth, to admit they can learn more than they already know. A wise person doesn't string together the beads of unrelated events into a necklace simply to have something they wish to see. A wise person sees the truth even if it is something unexpected. That is the most beautiful necklace to wear - the truth.

 I have no race prejudice I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being -- that is enough for me; he can't be any worse.
  Albert Einstein

  Mark Twain

 Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment
  Albert Einstein

 My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices.

 America owes most of its social prejudices to the exaggerated religious opinions of the different sects which were so instrumental in establishing the colonies.

 This is obviously the biggest thing sports wise. But it's not the biggest thing in my life and I realize that. I realize more that family is the most important thing. I learned a lot about myself. I became a better husband, a better father and a better person, period. I know that because that didn't kill me, I'm a strong person for it. Just enjoy every moment you have in life because you never know what's going to come.
