It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Black smoke, the flickering sister of fire.
Time cleanses what it touches over time.
