The wise have a solid sense of silence and the ability to keep a storehouse of secrets. Their capacity and character are respected.
Sometimes it proves the highest understanding not to understand.
Wise men appreciate all men, for they see the good in each and know how hard it is to make anything good.
Not he that adorns but he that adores makes a divinity.
He that communicates his secret to another makes himself that other's slave.
A brand new mediocrity is thought more of than accustomed excellence.
