How terrible it is to have wisdom when it does not benefit those who have it.
Heaven ne'er helps the men who will not act.
Laziness is the mother of all evils.
Even from the first it is meek to seek the impossible.
Whoe'er imagines prudence all his own, Or deems that he hath powers to speak and judge Such as none other hath, when they are known, They are found shallow.
And if my present actions strike you as foolish, let's just say I've been accused of folly by a fool.
