The Begetting of Wisdom

The aphoristic words below would be true if they weren't so funny:

"Living in anger is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

Apparently, these words of wisdom originate with our era's answer to Ann Landers, the similarly named Annie Lane, who may be with us for many a year to come, if her photograph can be trusted.

But hey, I can sound smart and aphoristic, too:

"Drinking poison is like living in anger and waiting for the other person to get mad."

And this exhausts my aphoristic wisdom for the nonce.
