 to get out of an experience   
 only the wisdom  
 that is in it   
 and stop there;  
 lest we be like the cat  
 that sits down  
 on a hot stove lid.*  
 *She will never sit down  
 on a hot stove lid again  
\--and that is well;  
 but also she will never sit  
 down on a cold one  
 any more.*  
 Mark Twain

 but not simpler.*

 that I wake at night  
 and begin to think about  
 a serious problem

 the Pope about it.*

 completely and remember   
 that I am the Pope.*  
 Pope John XXIII
