Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Sometimes we deny being worthy of praise, hoping to generate an argument we would be pleased to lose.
The gratification of a thoughtless pleasure soon evaporates; the pleasure of a gratifying thought never ends.
We all like to see everybody make a profit... a very little.
The only way some of us exercise our minds is by jumping to conclusions.
Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness.
