William Shakespeare

very witty and insightful

Verily, 'tis true that some people are truly wise beyond their years. They have a wit and insight that can surprise even the most learned of minds. With a single word they can make even the most complex of problems seem simple and straightforward. Such people are a joy to be around, for their wisdom can bring light to the darkest of days. Yet, it is also true that such people can often be misunderstood. For they may speak in riddles, or use a language that is not always understood. But herein lies the beauty of their gift, for in this confusion lies a hidden truth. A truth that can only be found if one takes the time to listen and ponder the words of such wise souls. So, to the very witty and insightful I say this: May your words bring joy and knowledge to all who hear them. May your wisdom be a beacon of light in the darkness. And may your insight bring understanding to the many who are lost in the sea of life.
