We are all fools when one wise man appears.
Orson Scott Card
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Marcus Porcius Cato

Impatience grasps at all, and admits of no delay, scorning to wait God's leisure, and to attend humbly and dutifully upon the issues of his wise and just providence.
Robert South
A wise man will make more opportunities, than he finds.
Francis Bacon
A wise man\'s bosom is the safe of his secrets.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
The mind of a wise man is the safest custody of secrets; cheerfulness is the key to friendship; patience and forbearance will conceal many defects.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active; the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful; the virtuous are long-lived.
Confucius
The wise are wise only because they love.
Paulo Coelho
As I slowly grow wise I briskly grow cautious.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.
