I've led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I've learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom.

To keep your secret is wisdom; to expect others to keep it is folly.

Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
