Not one man in five cycles, who is wise, will expect appreciative recognition from his fellows, or any one of them.
Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.
If you wish to catch a rabbit you put a ferret into the hole, and if the rabbit is there he runs.
If wishes were wings, sheep would fly.
Full oft we see cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.
All we can know is that we know nothing. And that’s the height of human wisdom.[Знать мы можем только то, что ничего не знаем. И это высшая степень человеческой премудрости.]
A loving heart was better and stronger than wisdom.
You’ll never find rainbows if you’re looking down.
You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
You can’t walk through life holding up a shield, you have to hold a sword.
