Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.[Matthew 10:16]
What is necessary is never unwise.
Sucking the marrow out of life doesn’t mean choking on the bone.
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
As the wise man once said, “So?”
You woke the bear from his sleep. You cannot cry when he tangos.
You can lift the stone without being ready for the snake that’s revealed.[to Robert]
Wise in measure should each man be, yet wise enough to be the fool.
When you’ve got an ass like the North Star, wise men are going to want to follow it.
The seaweed is always greener in somebody else’s lake.[singing]
The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
Sometimes you must dangle your feet in the water in order to attract the sharks.
