Benjamin Disraeli on what is perpetuated by quotations

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.

-Benjamin Disraeli

A quick comment about this quote

This quote is really a quote of what quotes are all about. Again we have the theme of wisdom, but here we go one step further. If wisdom were to be forgotten by a single generation, then wisdom would be re-invented every 40-60 years. This should not be.
