“A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?”
“A wise old owl once lived in a wood, the more he heard the less he said, the less he said the more he heard, let's emulate that wise old bird.”
“He spoke with a raven's voice, old and wise and far above the cruelty of the human race.”
“The less there was to see, the harder he looked, the more he saw.”
“He was old and wise, which meant tired and disappointed...”
“But if you have so much fun, then why don't you get together more than once a month?'She looked at me like a wise old owl and winked. 'Do something too often and it stops being special.”
