understanding is even-tempered.

the wise grows it under his feet.
When an argument flares up, the wise man quenches it with silence

The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves.

A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself.
