We pay a high price for intelligence. Wisdom hurts.

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

This is sweet to see your foe, perish and pay to justice all he owes.

To the ignorant, even the words of wise seem foolishness.

Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away.
