Public opinion is the pennant on a nation's mast which shows the politician and the editor how to trim the sails.

The statesman shears the sheep; the politician skins them.

Learned men fall into error oftenest by mistaking knowledge for wisdom.

Many a man wins glory for prudence by seeking advice, then seeking advice as to what advice would be best to take, and finally following appetite.

Knowledge is flour, but wisdom is bread.

Treat kindly every miserable truth that knocks begging at your door, otherwise you will some day fail to recognize Truth Himself when He comes in rags.

Wisdom grows in quiet places.
